The Weslaco Panthers will be playing in front of their home fans against the Hanna Golden Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Last Tuesday, Weslaco lost to Edinburg North on the road by a decisive 58-42 margin. While losing is never fun, Weslaco can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 833rd, while Edinburg North is ranked 278th).
