Basketball Game Preview: Bell Creek Academy Panthers vs. Wiregrass Ranch Bulls

The Bell Creek Academy Panthers will look to take advantage of their home court for the first time this season as they take on the Wiregrass Ranch Bulls at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Bell Creek Academy is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They fell just short of Cardinal Mooney by a score of 62-59 on Monday.

Meanwhile, Wiregrass Ranch took care of business in their home opener on Monday. They strolled past Freedom with points to spare, taking the game 78-62. The Bulls haven't had any issues with the Patriots recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive victory against them.

Bell Creek Academy might still be hurting after the 89-67 loss they got from Wiregrass Ranch in their previous matchup back in November of 2024. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Bulls' Ajayden Jenkins, who shot 50% from the field on his way to 24 points along with eight boards and five steals. Now that the Panthers know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
