XRDS — Crossroads and New Roads will meet Thursday in boys' basketball in a battle for Santa Monica.
It is a rematch of a game that Crossroads ran away with, 87-35.
Crossroads has stumbled since then with a three-game losing streak, the most recent coming against Malibu on Monday.
"We haven't been playing well chemistry wise," Crossroads head coach Kevin Jackson said. "I'm pretty sure we can handle New Roads again, but I anticipate a dog fight."
Crossroads enters the game 5-5, while New Roads sits at just 1-8.
Despite routing New Roads last time out, Jackson said that his team's recent struggles give him reason to pause.
The game will be Crossroads' last until Jan. 7, 2013.
Thursday's game begins at 7 p.m. at Crossroads.
