They will head out to  square off against the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/el-paso\/montwood-rams\/basketball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Montwood Rams<\/a>  at 6:00  p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">Coronado is probably headed into the  matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Franklin just ended the team&#8217;s  four-game winning streak  on Wednesday. They took  a  49-37 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Cougars. While losing is never fun, the Thunderbirds can&#8217;t take it too hard given the team&#8217;s big disadvantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 426th, while the Cougars are ranked 134th).<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> Meanwhile, Montwood entered their tilt with Pebble Hills on Friday with four consecutive wins but they&#8217;ll enter their next game with five. They couldn&#8217;t have asked for a better start to 2026 than the  64-35 blowout they got against the Spartans. The Rams have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight  games by 20  points or more this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Coronado&#8217;s loss dropped their record down to 9-6. As for Montwood, their victory bumped their record up to 18-5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Coronado beat Montwood 48-37  in their previous meeting  back in January of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Thunderbirds since the  squad won&#8217;t have the home-court advantage this time around. We&#8217;ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.<\/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":"Coronado is preparing for their first district matchup of the season on Tuesday.
