If Rosa Fort was riding high fresh off their 78-48 takedown of North Panola last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Rosa Fort Lions fell to the Palmer Dragons 57-52. The Lions were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Dragons apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2024.
Jalean Tweedy was his usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 36 points and ten rebounds for Palmer. That makes it four consecutive games in which Tweedy has scored at least a third of Palmer's points. Martavious Davis was another key player, putting up ten points along with five boards and four steals.
