The Daphne Trojans and the Theodore Bobcats will compete for holiday cheer at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in Daphne's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last eight contests.
Last Friday, Daphne had just enough and edged Spanish Fort out 60-58. Given the Trojans' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama basketball rankings (they are ranked 57th, while the Toros are ranked 221st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Theodore had to endure a four-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They walked away with a 59-52 victory over Davidson on Friday.
The win got Theodore back to even at 5-5. As for Daphne, their victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-4.
Daphne couldn't quite finish off Theodore in their previous matchup back in December of 2023 and fell 58-56. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Theodore's Houston Cunningham, who went 7 for 13 on his way to 26 points and three steals. Now that Daphne knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
