While Salpointe Catholic is still 8-5 to start the season, these back-to-back blowout losses do not trend them in the right direction.
The Lancers started their season 7-2 and were rolling. Despite losing three out of the last four games, the team has a ton of time to turn it back around.
Up Next
Salpointe Catholic next face off against the 17-3 Houston Christian Mustangs of Texas. The Mustangs have dominated to start the season and are currently on a seven-game win streak.
This is another tough matchup but one that the Lancers will do all that they can to come out on top, considering they have gone 0-2 during the tournament thus far.
