A feisty cat fight will be fought as the Panthers take on the Cougars at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a three-game winning streak alive.
Last Saturday, Western strolled past Lewis Cass with points to spare, taking the game 48-32. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 158th, while the Kings are ranked 380th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Carroll). They blew past South Newton 71-37 on Saturday. The Cougars have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine contests by 20 points or more this season.
Carroll pushed their record up to 16-4 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 28.6 points. As for Western, their win bumped their record up to 13-9.
Western took their victory against Carroll in their previous matchup back in February of 2024 by a conclusive 71-51. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Carroll's Chris Huerta, who went 8-for-12 to rack up 19 points. Now that he won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be easier for Western to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
