Basketball Game Preview: White River Tigers vs. Rapid City Christian Comets

The White River Tigers will take on the Rapid City Christian Comets in a holiday battle at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

White River gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They blew past Jones County 66-42. The Tigers not only won on Friday, but they posted their biggest win since December 19, 2024 (when they won 63-37).

Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Rapid City Christian against Douglas on Saturday as the team secured a 61-34 win. The victory continues a trend for the Comets in their matchups with the Patriots: they've now won five in a row.

White River might still be hurting after the 64-38 defeat they got from Rapid City Christian when the teams last played back in December of 2023. Can the Tigers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
