The Cedar Creek Cougars will head out on the road to challenge the Ouachita Christian Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Cedar Creek is no doubt hoping to put an end to a three-game streak of away losses.

Meanwhile, Ouachita Christian's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Tuesday after their fourth straight loss. They took a 64-49 bruising from Lincoln Prep.

Cedar Creek's loss dropped their record down to 12-9. As for Ouachita Christian, their loss dropped their record down to 11-15.
Cedar Creek didn't have too much breathing room in their match against the Eagles in their previous meeting last Tuesday, but they still walked away with a 67-61 win.
