A feisty cat fight will be fought as the Panthers face off against the Tigers on Tuesday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Last Tuesday, Merryville had to suffer through an 84-40 loss at the hands of Hamilton Christian. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Louisiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 344th, while the Warriors are ranked 86th).
Meanwhile, DeQuincy came up short against Mamou on Friday and fell 54-43. The Tigers haven't had much luck with the Demons recently, as the team has come up short the last seven times they've met.
Merryville has traveled a rocky road recently having lost 12 of their last 16 matchups, which has put a noticeable dent in their 6-21-2 record this season. As for DeQuincy, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-14-1.
Merryville didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against DeQuincy in their previous matchup back in December of 2022, but they still walked away with a 48-42 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Merryville since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
