Laverne and Vici are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2017, but not for long. The Laverne Tigers will venture away from home to challenge the Vici Indians at 8:00 p.m. on Friday.
Laverne will head into Wednesday's match out to bounce back: they won a close one the last time they played, but unfortunately they suffered a serious change of fortune on Wednesday. They were dealt a 61-32 loss at the hands of Leedey. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma basketball rankings (they are ranked 141st, while the Bison are ranked 47th).
Meanwhile, Vici came tearing into Tuesday's game with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 18 points) and they left with even more momentum. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 54-52 win over Sentinel. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Indians have posted since January 16, 2024.
Vici is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests, which provided a nice bump to their 15-7 record this season. As for Laverne, their defeat dropped their record down to 12-7.
Things could have been worse for Laverne, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 56-38 loss to Vici in their previous meeting back in December of 2024. Can Laverne avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
