Basketball Game Preview: Blackduck Drakes vs. Nevis Tigers

Blackduck hasn't had much luck against Nevis recently, but that could start to change on Thursday. The Blackduck Drakes will host the Nevis Tigers at 7:30 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
