Hurley hasn't had much luck against School of the Ozarks recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. The Hurley Tigers will venture away from home to face off against the School of the Ozarks Patriots at 6:45 p.m. Given that both suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Last Tuesday, Hurley was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 73-67 to Fordland. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game on Monday (55), the Tigers still had to take the loss.
Meanwhile, School of the Ozarks unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They fell 47-37 to Humansville last Friday.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Scott Carswell, who almost dropped a double-double on ten points and nine rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Canaan Thomas, who posted six points along with six rebounds.
Hurley was taken down by School of the Ozarks 75-37 in their previous matchup back in November of 2023. Thankfully for Hurley, Caleb Widner (who went 9 for 17 en route to 20 points plus six assists and six rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
