A feisty cat fight will be fought as the Cardinals take on the Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Friday, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Melvindale beat Roosevelt 58-54. Given the Cardinals' advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 242nd, while the Bears are ranked 648th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, River Rouge took their matchup on Friday with ease, bagging a 79-40 win over Flat Rock. The contest marked the Panthers' most dominant victory of the season.
Melvindale is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.0 points over those games. The win made it two in a row for River Rouge and bumps their season record up to 15-7.
Melvindale took a serious blow against River Rouge in their previous matchup back in March of 2020, falling 74-32. Can Melvindale avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
