A feisty cat fight will be fought as the Tigers face off against the Cardinals at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have had a bumpy ride up to this point with eight consecutive losses for Hastings and three for Duchesne.
Hastings is headed into the game out to prove that what happened against Waverly on Thursday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Hastings had to suffer through a 54-18 loss at the hands of Waverly. The Tigers were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 32-11.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 74-44, which was the final score in Duchesne's tilt against Pius X on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Cardinals can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 153rd, while the Thunderbolts are ranked fourth).
Hastings' defeat dropped their record down to 4-16. As for Duchesne, their loss dropped their record down to 6-14.
Hastings didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Duchesne in their previous matchup back in February of 2024, but they still walked away with a 52-47 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hastings since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
