It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Salem can now relate to. The game between them and the Mountain Grove Panthers didn't end well, with the Salem Tigers falling 63-49. The Tigers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Panthers apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2024.
Salem has also been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-9 record this season. The victory (which was Mountain Grove's sixth in a row) raised their record to 14-10.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Mountain Grove beat Salem by a score of 63-49 on Saturday.
