Basketball Recap: Murphy Comes Up Short

Murphy has been a dominant force so far, but they're in the middle of a mini-slump at the moment. They were five points away from ending the streak, but they lost a 61-56 heartbreaker at the hands of the Theodore Bobcats. The Panthers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bobcats apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2024.

Murphy's loss dropped their record down to 13-5. As for Theodore, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 9-8.

Coincidentally, the two teams will both be playing Saraland the next time they take the court. Murphy will host Saraland at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, while Theodore will head out to face them at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
