The Washington Demons will be looking to get their basketball teams back on track when they travel to Ottumwa tonight in a doubleheader you can hear on KCII. The Washington girls are looking to avoid a sixth straight loss, as stars like senior Alex Murphy and freshman Adalyn Long have struggled to score of late, leaving the 6-8 Demons with an average of only 36 points per game as a team during their losing streak and just over 48 points per contest for the season in total. Washington has won the last two meetings with Ottumwa, which is 7-5 so far this season and has won three straight.

The Demon boys will try to bounce back from a tough conference loss at home Friday night, where a double-digit lead in the first half still gave way to a nine-point loss to Mount Pleasant. Washington is 6-6 this season, with the chief reason being their struggles in non-conference games. Despite the scoring prowess of senior Ethan Patterson, the Demons have just one non-league win this season and none on the road. They’ll look to change that when facing an Ottumwa Bulldogs squad that is 2-9. You can hear Washington Demon basketball visit Ottumwa this evening on 106.1 FM KCII, with coverage starting on the Washington HyVee Pregame Show at 5:30.
