The Eldorado Firehawks will venture away from home to take on the Bonanza Bengals at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Given that both suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 80-13, which was the final score in Eldorado's tilt against Legacy on Wednesday. While losing is never fun, the Firehawks can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nevada basketball rankings (they are ranked 82nd, while the Longhorns are ranked 16th).
