Manila entered their tilt with Osceola on Thursday with nine consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with ten. They blew past the Osceola Seminoles 68-22. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' Arkansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 48th, while the Seminoles are ranked 228th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Manila pushed their record up to 21-5 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 26.4 points over those games. As for Osceola, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost seven of their last eight matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-14 record this season.
Looking ahead, a feisty cat fight will be fought when the Lions challenge the Cougars at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Manila knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past ten contests -- so hopefully Rector likes a good challenge. Osceola does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
