Last Friday, Sequoyah came up short against Lenoir City and fell 58-51.
Meanwhile, South-Doyle also suffered a loss in their last game, but this one to Anderson County by a score of 77-64.

South-Doyle has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost eight of their last nine matchups, which has put a noticeable dent in their 6-19 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.9 points over those games. As for Sequoyah, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-18.
Sequoyah came out on top in a nail-biter against South-Doyle in their previous meeting back in January, sneaking past 48-46. The rematch might be a little tougher for Sequoyah since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
