Wednesday sports schedule — Jan. 5

What to watch

Boys basketball

Wharton (11-1) at Freedom (8-2), 8

The Wildcats won 10 straight. That streak will be tested against the Patriots, whose two losses were each by single digits. 

Boys soccer

Bloomingdale (6-1-1) at Durant (5-2-1), 8

The Bulls, winners of four straight, are allowing less than a goal per match. The Cougars are 4-0-1 in their last five matches, three of those wins coming by three or more goals. 

Girls basketball

Durant (9-3) at Newsome (10-3), 6:30

The Cougars are trying to rebound after two straight losses. The Wolves, meanwhile, have won six of their last seven games. 

East Bay (11-6) at Lennard (12-3), 6:30

This is the third meeting between the teams. They split the first with the Indians winning the first matchup and the Longhorns getting payback at the Tampa Bay Christmas Invitational last week. 

Girls soccer

Tampa Bay Tech (4-1-1) at Freedom (6-0-1), 6

After starting 0-1-1, the Titans have won four straight. To keep that streak going they will have to get past the undefeated Patriots,who have allowed just one goal this season. 

Nature Coast (7-4-1) at Springstead (11-2), 7:30

This is a rematch of the meeting the Eagles won 7-1 last month. Springstead, ranked No. 10 in Class 5A, have won nine straight.
