The White Swan Cougars will wrap up 2024 with a road trip to face off against the Freeman Scotties at 5:15 p.m. on Friday. White Swan is coming into the contest on a five-game losing streak.

It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 76-31, which was the final score in White Swan's tilt against La Salle on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Cougars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 281st, while the Lightning are ranked 133rd).

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Freeman). The stars were shining brightly for them in a 63-46 win over Liberty on Friday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Scotties.

White Swan's defeat dropped their record down to 2-6. As for Freeman, their victory bumped their record up to 4-2.
