The Opp Bobcats's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Thursday after their seventh straight loss. They took a 62-52 hit to the loss column at the hands of McKenzie. Opp was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as McKenzie apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in December of 2022.
Several Bobcats players turned in solid performances, despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Josh Smith, who scored 12 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Colby Ballard, who scored eight points along with eight rebounds and two steals.
Opp dropped their record down to 2-21 with that defeat, which was their fourth straight at home. As for McKenzie, the victory makes it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 6-10.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Opp will take on Brantley at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. Brantley knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past five contests -- so hopefully Opp likes a good challenge. McKenzie won't have much time to rest: their next contest is against Pleasant Home at 7:15 p.m. on January 26th.
