The Chargers will challenge the Rangers at 7:00  p.m.  on Friday. Given that  the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this  contest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">On Tuesday, Union City came up short against Colon  and fell  49-40. While losing is never fun, the Chargers can&#8217;t take it too hard given the team&#8217;s big disadvantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 550th, while the Magi are ranked 209th).<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> Meanwhile, Reading was not able to break out of their rough patch  on Tuesday as the team picked up their 15th straight  defeat. They received a  blow  as they fell  62-44 to Pittsford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Union City&#8217;s loss dropped their record down to 4-11. As for Reading, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Everything came up roses for Union City against Reading in their previous matchup  back in January, as the  team secured  a  67-34 victory. In that  game, the Chargers amassed a halftime lead of  31-6, an impressive feat they&#8217;ll look to repeat  on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"vs 01\/08\/26 &#8211; Home67-34 W02\/07\/25 &#8211; Home78-40 W01\/09\/25 &#8211; Away64-36 W02\/09\/24 &#8211; Away42-39 W01\/11\/24 &#8211; Home40-36 W+ 5&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111130,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":{"0":"post-111129","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-reading","8":"tag-reading-city","9":"tag-reading-city-headlines","10":"tag-reading-city-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
