Basketball Game Preview: Orofino Maniacs vs. Grangeville Bulldogs

Orofino and Grangeville are an even 5-5 against one another since January of 2021, but not for long. The Orofino Maniacs will head out on the road to challenge the Grangeville Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Grangeville took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Orofino, who comes in off a win.

Orofino will head into Saturday's match on the come-up: they were handed a heart-breaking two-point defeat in their last game, but they sure didn't let that happen against Timberline on Saturday. Orofino blew past Timberline 78-22.

Meanwhile, Grangeville had to start their season on the road last Monday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a blow against Kamiah, falling 72-25. The Bulldogs were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 40-10.

Orofino was able to grind out a solid win over Grangeville when the teams last played back in February, winning 53-46. The rematch might be a little tougher for Orofino since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
