Basketball Recap: Foxfire Snaps Five-Game Streak of Wins at Home

If Foxfire was feeling good fresh off their 55-10 takedown of Marburn Academy last Thursday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Foxfire Phoenix fell to Varsity Opponent 50-46. Sadly, that's the second time they've come up short against the Phoenix this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 56-44 back in December of 2024.
