Walhalla and Pendleton are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2018, but not for long. The Walhalla Razorbacks will host the Pendleton Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in Walhalla's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last seven contests.
Walhalla fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against Crescent on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 76-71 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Tigers. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game on Monday (57), the Razorbacks still had to take the loss.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pendleton). They took down Liberty 70-52 on Tuesday. The win was some much needed relief for the Bulldogs as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak.
Pendleton's win came from a few key players Walhalla will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Samuel Ross, who went 5 of 9 on his way to 18 points along with seven boards and four steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Garon Blalock, who went 6 of 9 en route to 16 points and eight rebounds.
Walhalla's loss dropped their record down to 5-13. As for Pendleton, their victory ended an eight-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-12.
Walhalla beat Pendleton 75-68 in their previous meeting back in February of 2024. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Pendleton's Luke Gray, who went 13 of 24 on his way to 37 points and eight steals. Now that he won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be easier for Walhalla to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
