Basketball Game Preview: Braxton County Eagles vs. Tygarts Valley Bulldogs

The Braxton County Eagles will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Tygarts Valley Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Braxton County is leaving town to face Tygarts Valley after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Braxton County lost to Roane County at home by a 43-27 margin on Friday. The loss continues a trend for the Eagles in their matchups with the Raiders: they've now lost eight in a row.

Meanwhile, Tygarts Valley had just enough and edged Webster County out 46-44 on Monday.

Braxton County strolled past Tygarts Valley in their previous meeting back in December of 2023 by a score of 54-36. The rematch might be a little tougher for Braxton County since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
