Basketball Game Preview: Beatrice Orangemen vs. Norris Titans

The Beatrice Orangemen will head out on the road to face off against the Norris Titans on Tuesday.

Last Thursday, Beatrice came up short against Waverly and fell 54-43. The Orangemen haven't had much luck with the Vikings recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Norris). They claimed a resounding 65-7 win over Lincoln Northwest. The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 45-6.

Beatrice's loss dropped their record down to 11-8. As for Norris, their victory bumped their record up to 14-7.

Beatrice might still be hurting after the 50-30 defeat they got from Norris when the teams last played on February 4th. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Norris' Landri Gates, who went 8-for-14 en route to 20 points. Now that Beatrice knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
