Carlisle kicked off their season on the road on Tuesday and hit a couple of potholes. They had to suffer through a 63-18 loss at the hands of the Arp Tigers. The Indians lost against the Tigers in their previous head to head back in November of 2021, too, but the margin this time around was even wider than the 40-29 score last time.
Carlisle's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Alesha Jackson, who earned six points along with eight rebounds and three steals.
Arp's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Ja'Neciya Potts led the charge by posting 11 points in addition to seven steals and five assists. Those five assists gave Potts a new career-high. Zariah Tatum was another key player, going 5 for 11 en route to 15 points plus three steals.
Arp's win ended a six-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 1-3.
Coincidentally, Carlisle and Arp will both be playing Cumberland Academy the next time they take the court. Arp will head out to face Cumberland Academy at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, while Carlisle will play them later in the day, at 5:00 p.m.
