Basketball Game Preview: Oasis Christian Lions vs. Foundation Christian Academy Panthers + Official Tickets

The Oasis Christian Lions are headed away from home for the first time to square off against the Foundation Christian Academy Panthers at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

Oasis Christian is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against Universal Academy last Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Lions were beaten by the Falcons 78-39. The Lions were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 40-16.

Despite the defeat, Oasis Christian saw an underclassman step up: freshman Jordan Almonte went 8-for-18 on his way to 21 points in addition to eight steals and five boards.

Meanwhile, Foundation Christian Academy unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They had to suffer through a 91-48 loss at the hands of Cambridge Christian. The loss continues a trend for the Panthers in their meetings with the Lancers: they've now lost nine in a row.
