The Washington Demons will head out to take on the Solon Spartans at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Last Tuesday, Washington had to suffer through a 65-37 loss at the hands of Mt. Vernon. While losing is never fun, the Demons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Iowa basketball rankings (they are ranked 215th, while the Mustangs are ranked 82nd).
Meanwhile, Solon had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.5 points) and they went ahead and made it five on Thursday. They came within five points of losing the streak, but they secured a 57-52 W against the Bears.
Solon's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-6. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.7 points over those games. As for Washington, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-11.
Things could have been worse for Washington, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 70-54 loss to Solon in their previous matchup back in February of 2024. Can Washington avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
