The Tuscola Mountaineers are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game of the season: they will square off against the Owen Warhorses at 8:00 p.m. on Friday.
Tuscola is leaving town to face Owen after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Mountaineers were dealt a 73-45 loss at the hands of Madison on Tuesday. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it 17 in a row.
Tuscola's loss came about despite a quality game from Jett Bartley, who posted eight points along with five boards and three blocks. Hayden Setser was another key player, putting up five points and five rebounds.
Meanwhile, Owen earned a 48-38 victory over R-S Central on Thursday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Warhorses.
Tuscola ended up a good deal behind Owen in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, losing 67-49. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Warhorses' Asante Martin, who shot 61% from the field on his way to 30 points and four blocks. Now that the Mountaineers know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
