Basketball Game Preview: Latta Panthers vs. Vanoss Wolves

The Latta Panthers will venture away from home to challenge the Vanoss Wolves at 8:00 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.

Latta barely beat Calera the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Panthers put the hurt on the Bulldogs with a sharp 62-40 win on Friday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Panthers.

Meanwhile, Vanoss took care of business in their home opener (and then some) two weeks ago. They blew past Tupelo, posting a 68-37 victory.

Latta couldn't quite get it done against Vanoss when the teams last played back in November of 2024 as they fell 37-26. Can the Panthers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
