The Hoehne Farmers will venture away from home to challenge the Del Norte Tigers at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Hoehne knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past six games -- so hopefully Del Norte likes a good challenge.
Last Friday, Hoehne came up short against Swallows Charter Academy and fell 67-56.
