The Jackson Polar Bears will take on the Medina Battling Bees at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Jackson's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 19 contests.
Jackson is headed into the game after thoroughly thrashing Stow-Munroe Falls: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Jackson blew Stow-Munroe Falls out of the water with a 90-52 final score. The Polar Bears have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 12 matchups by 20 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, Medina was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Friday as they fell 63-59 to Mentor. While losing is never fun, the Battling Bees can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 153rd, while the Cardinals are ranked 49th).
Jackson has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 75.4 points over those games. Medina has traveled a rocky road recently having lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-12 record this season.
Everything went Jackson's way against Medina in their previous meeting back in February of 2024, as Jackson made off with an 89-63 victory. Does Jackson have another victory up their sleeve, or will Medina turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
