The Rio Vikings are taking a road trip to challenge the Tri-County Penguins at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Rio is looking for their season's first victory.
Last Friday, Rio had to suffer through a 62-17 loss at the hands of Markesan. While losing is never fun, the Vikings can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 487th, while the Hornets are ranked 243rd).
Meanwhile, Tri-County hadn't done well against Wild Rose recently (they were 0-9 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. Tri-County walked away with a 55-42 win over Wild Rose. The Penguins' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.
The victory made it two in a row for Tri-County and bumps their season record up to 4-5. As for Rio, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-9.
Rio beat Tri-County 64-54 in their previous matchup back in January of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Rio since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
