Basketball Game Preview: Atoka Wampus Cats vs. Calera Bulldogs

After both having extra time off, the Atoka Wampus Cats and the Calera Bulldogs will shake off the cobwebs and hit the court against one another at 8:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Atoka can't be too happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season away from home two weeks ago. They came up short against Bethel, falling 68-42.

Meanwhile, Calera was just a bucket shy of victory two weeks ago and fell 43-42 to Boswell. The defeat continues a trend for the Bulldogs in their meetings with the Scorpions: they've now lost four in a row.

Atoka couldn't quite get it done against Calera in their previous matchup back in December of 2024 as they fell 61-50. Can the Wampus Cats avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
