Keene lost to Palmer back in December of 2021, but they didn't allow them the same satisfaction on Tuesday. The Keene Chargers managed a 45-40 win over the Palmer Bulldogs. Given the Chargers 's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 417th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 994th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Perhaps the best among them was Reagan Davis, who posted five points in addition to six assists and six boards.
