Last Tuesday, Walnut Hills came up short against Little Miami and fell 46-33. While losing is never fun, the Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 310th, while the Panthers are ranked 112th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Turpin). They blew past West Clermont 74-53 on Tuesday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Spartans.
