The Heritage Panthers will square off against the Satellite Scorpions at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Heritage is coming into the contest on a four-game losing streak.
Last Monday, Heritage had to suffer through a 80-47 loss at the hands of East River. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 618th, while the Falcons are ranked 88th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Satellite). They blew past Brevard Christian 90-64 on Monday. The score was close at the half, but the Scorpions pulled away in the second half with 49 points.
Heritage better focus on containing K'Dnce Cataldo and Jack Knight as the pair were huge in Satellite's win. Cataldo went 10 of 18 on his way to 32 points and four steals, while Knight dropped a double-double on 20 points and 15 boards. That makes it three consecutive games in which Cataldo has scored at least a third of Satellite's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Christian Mcphilamy, who went 8 of 12 on his way to 19 points.
Satellite was working as a unit and finished the game with 15 assists. That's the most assists they've posted since back in February of 2024.
Heritage's defeat dropped their record down to 2-13. As for Satellite, they moved to 6-8 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak.
Heritage strolled past Satellite in their previous matchup back in December of 2024 by a score of 70-52. The rematch might be a little tougher for Heritage since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
