Basketball Game Preview: Dr. Phillips Panthers vs. Central Florida Christian Academy Eagles + How To Watch

The Dr. Phillips Panthers will be defending their home court for the first time this season when they go up against the Central Florida Christian Academy Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Dr. Phillips is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They took a 68-50 bruising from Olympia on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Central Florida Christian Academy unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of Evans by a score of 59-56 on Tuesday. The Eagles have struggled against the Trojans recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.

Dr. Phillips will need to focus on slowing down Alexander Dipaolo, one of several Central Florida Christian Academy players who made an impact when they last played. He dropped a double-double with 15 points and 11 boards. Another player making a difference was Dylan Cambell, who shot 50% from the field to rack up 14 points and eight rebounds.

Dr. Phillips couldn't quite get it done against Central Florida Christian Academy in their previous matchup back in December of 2022 as they fell 55-48.
