After both having extra time off, the Navarre Raiders and the Pace Patriots will shake off the cobwebs and square off against one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 89-58, which was the final score in Navarre's tilt against Tate last Friday. The Raiders have struggled against the Aggies recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive lost matchup.
Meanwhile, Pace lost to Booker T. Washington at home by a 43-26 margin last Monday. While losing is never fun, the Patriots can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 630th, while the Wildcats are ranked 155th).
This is the second loss in a row for Pace and nudges their season record down to 1-11. As for Navarre, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-8.
Navarre didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Pace in their previous matchup two weeks ago, but they still walked away with a 52-46 victory. Does Navarre have another victory up their sleeve, or will Pace turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
