The Osborne Bulldogs will be playing in front of their home fans against the Natoma Tigers at 6:00 p.m. The timing is sure in Osborne's favor as the squad sits on 18 straight wins at home (dating back to last season) while the Tigers have been banged up by five consecutive losses on the road.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was MaKayla Murphy, who scored 14 points.
