Basketball Recap: Verden Comes Up Short

After flying high against Ninnekah last Friday, Verden came back down to earth. The Verden Tigers had to suffer through a 59-30 loss at the hands of the Minco Bulldogs. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma basketball rankings (they are ranked 350th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 141st).

Verden now has a losing record at 7-8. As for Minco, their record is now 10-7.

A feisty cat fight is on tap when the Verden Tigers take on the Amber-Pocasset Panthers at 6:30 p.m. on January 28th. Amber-Pocasset will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something Verden surely won't give up without a fight. Minco has already played their next matchup (against Hydro-Eakly), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
