Benton suffered their closest defeat since December 28, 2024 on Tuesday. They fell just short of the Haughton Buccaneers by a score of 47-45. The Tigers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Buccaneers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in February of 2024.
Benton has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost nine of their last 12 matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 17-19 record this season. As for Haughton, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 26-9.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. A feisty cat fight is on tap when the Benton Tigers challenge the Parkway Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Parkway knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past four games -- so hopefully Benton likes a good challenge. Haughton has already played their next contest (against Stanley), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
