The Sumter County Panthers will look to take advantage of their home court for the first time this season as they take on the Monroe Golden Tornadoes at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Sumter County is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They fell 63-53 to Lee County on Saturday. The Panthers have struggled against the Trojans recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive lost matchup.
Meanwhile, Monroe was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Saturday as they fell 80-74 to Southwest.
Sumter County strolled past Monroe in their previous matchup back in November of 2024 by a score of 73-59. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Golden Tornadoes' James Adams, who posted 12 points along with six blocks and five boards. Now that he won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be easier for the Panthers to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
