The Hooker Bulldogs will face off against the Frontier Mustangs at 9:00 p.m. on Friday.
Hooker is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Texline just ended the team's ten-game winning streak on Tuesday. They took a hard 66-47 fall against the Tornadoes. The loss was a bit of a surprise, as the Bulldogs came into the contest with a sizable advantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 35th in Oklahoma, while the Tornadoes are ranked 313th in Texas).
Meanwhile, Frontier had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 35 points) and they went ahead and made it five on Tuesday. They blew past the Maroons 70-37. The Mustangs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine games by 21 points or more this season.
Frontier's win was their ninth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 19-2. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 73.0 points per game. As for Hooker, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-3.
Hooker didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Frontier in their previous matchup back in January of 2023, but they still walked away with a 56-52 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hooker since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
