Two dominant forwards in Payton Blue and Macayla Askew are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. A feisty cat fight is on tap when the Eisenhower Tigers take on the Derby Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Friday...
Eisenhower easily dispatched Chanute two weeks ago, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. Eisenhower fell just short of Arkansas City by a score of 49-47 on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 220th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 37th).
Meanwhile, Derby was fully in charge on Tuesday, breezing past Valley Center 59-27. The Panthers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight matches by 28 points or more this season.
Derby pushed their record up to 12-2 with the win, which was their eighth straight at home. As for Eisenhower, their loss dropped their record down to 4-9.
Eisenhower suffered a grim 47-21 defeat to Derby in their previous meeting back in December of 2021. Thankfully for Eisenhower, Addy Brown (who dropped a double-double on 16 points and ten rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
