The Latta Panthers will take on the Allen Mustangs at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Allen will be up against a hot Latta team: the squad just extended their winning streak to seven. Everything went Latta's way against Byng on Saturday as Latta made off with a 49-23 victory. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma basketball rankings (they are ranked 14th, while the Pirates are ranked 252nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Allen against Tupelo on Friday as the team secured a 75-14 win.
Allen is also on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests, which provided a nice bump to their 17-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 28.4 points per game. As for Latta, they pushed their record up to 19-4 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road.
Latta beat Allen 45-36 in their previous meeting back in January of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Latta since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
