Basketball Preview: Monahans Loboes vs. Kermit Yellow Jackets
The Monahans Loboes will welcome the Kermit Yellow Jackets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
After dropping their season opener at home, Kermit is headed out to face a Loboes squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Monahans took a hard 36-18 fall against Presidio last Saturday. The Loboes just can't catch a break and have now endured six losses in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the matchup if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Kermit's strategy against Pecos on Tuesday.

With the Yellow Jackets ahead 36-13 at the half, the match was all but over already.
Brayden Pando had an outrageously good game as he had 21 points. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in threes (seven). Another player making a difference was Diego Juarez, who posted 14 points.
Monahans took their victory against Kermit when the teams last played back in December of 2023 by a conclusive 76-50. Does Monahans have another victory up their sleeve, or will Kermit turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
