Santa Rosa has gone 8-2 against Analy recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. A feisty cat fight is on tap when the Santa Rosa Panthers challenge the Analy Tigers at 7:30 p.m. Santa Rosa is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 51.7 points per game this season.

Santa Rosa will head into Friday's game on the come-up: they were handed a heart-breaking three-point defeat in their last matchup, but they sure didn't let that happen against Windsor on Friday. Santa Rosa was the clear victor by a 50-30 margin over Windsor. The Panthers pushed the score to 45-15 by the end of the third, a deficit the Jaguars cut but never quite recovered from.

Gabe Airoldi continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, putting up 22 points. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games. Arlo Mischke was another key player, posting eight points in addition to nine rebounds and four steals.

Meanwhile, Analy came up short against Montgomery on Friday and fell 58-45. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 824th, while the Vikings are ranked 195th).

Analy has been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 12 contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 8-14 record this season. As for Santa Rosa, with the victory, they broke their four-game losing streak and moved their record to 13-8.

Santa Rosa strolled past Analy in their previous meeting on January 10th by a score of 68-54. The rematch might be a little tougher for Santa Rosa since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
