Why this one matters

The Phoenix and Ravens meet fresh off a Jan. 13 matchup in which Pontiac routed Royal Oak, 63-42. That recent result gives Pontiac momentum heading into Thursday, while Royal Oak will be looking for answers at home. Both teams have upcoming league games on the SBLive schedule, so this is a key midseason test as teams jockey for position down the stretch.
