The El Dorado Cougars are taking a road trip to take on the Roseville Tigers at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Hopefully El Dorado focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 26 on Friday.
El Dorado can't be to happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home. They took a 39-32 hit to the loss column at the hands of Bella Vista.
Despite their loss, El Dorado saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Alana Schneider, who dropped a double-double on ten points and ten rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. Keira Hennefer was another key player, dropping a double-double on ten rebounds and ten steals.
Even though they lost, El Dorado smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 13 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least ten offensive rebounds in 11 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Roseville unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They received a blow on Friday as they fell 48-34 to Lincoln. The Tigers just can't catch a break and have now endured seven defeats in a row dating back to last season.
El Dorado came up short against Roseville in their previous meeting back in November of 2023, falling 50-38. Can El Dorado avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
