After both having extra time off, the Holcomb Longhorns and the Goodland Cowboys will shake off the cobwebs and challenge one another at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Goodland put another one in the bag two weeks ago to keep their perfect season alive. They secured a 51-45 W over Hugoton. Given the Cowboys' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked fifth, while the Eagles are ranked 111th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Holcomb suffered a grim 62-40 defeat to Goodland in their previous matchup back in February of 2024.
