Nitro has gone a perfect 10-0 against Lincoln County recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Wildcats will be home for the holidays to greet the Panthers at 7:00 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

On Saturday, Nitro came up short against Hurricane and fell 82-71.

Meanwhile, Lincoln County unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were beaten by Ripley 98-28 on Wednesday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.
