Sheldon is leaving town to face Wheaton after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Panthers took a 55-50 hit to the loss column at the hands of Dadeville two weeks ago. The Panthers haven't had much luck with the Bearcats recently, as the team has come up short the last eight times they've met.
Meanwhile, Wheaton came up short against Purdy last Wednesday and fell 73-61.
Sheldon will have to contain Brody Bateman as he made an impact in Wheaton's last game. He dropped a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

The team also got some help courtesy of Yeshua Cha, who went 5-for-10 on his way to 11 points and five boards.
Sheldon strolled past Wheaton when the teams last played back in February of 2019 by a score of 64-49. Will the Panthers repeat their success, or do the Bulldogs have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
