Basketball Game Preview: Peoria Panthers vs. Dysart Demons + Official Tickets

The Peoria Panthers are headed away from home for the first time to square off against the Dysart Demons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Peoria is leaving town to face Dysart after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Panthers fell just short of Bradshaw Mountain by a score of 63-60 on Wednesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Panthers have suffered since January 7th.

Meanwhile, Dysart had to kick off their season on the road on Wednesday, but they showed no ill effects. They claimed a resounding 73-41 win over Cactus. The Demons have beaten the Cobras the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Cobras has come to flipping the script.

Peoria came up short against Dysart in their previous meeting back in February, falling 54-49. Can the Panthers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
