The DeSoto Eagles will venture away from home to square off against the Waxahachie Indians at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Waxahachie took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on DeSoto, who comes in off a win.

Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 80th, while the Skeeters are ranked 396th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Waxahachie was beaten by Duncanville 96-63 on Friday.
