The Lake Worth Christian Defenders will take on the Cardinal Newman Crusaders at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Lake Worth Christian is headed out to face Cardinal Newman after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. The Defenders claimed a resounding 68-30 victory over FAU High. The Defenders pushed the score to 55-25 by the end of the third, a deficit the Owls had little chance of recovering from.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Lake Worth Christian to victory, but perhaps none more so than Michael Davis, who shot 50% from the field to rack up 11 points in addition to four steals and three blocks. Another player making a difference was Jeshua Collado, who went 5-for-12 en route to 14 points and six rebounds.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Cardinal Newman beat Monsignor Pace 53-47 on Wednesday. The win continues a trend for the Crusaders in their matchups with the Spartans: they've now won four in a row.
Lake Worth Christian came up short against Cardinal Newman in their previous meeting back in November of 2024, falling 72-67. Thankfully for the Defenders, L.T. Noegel (who almost dropped a double-double with 24 points and nine boards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
