Why this one matters

The Tigers host the Golden Eagles in what should be a physical nonleague test for both programs. The teams last met Dec. 2, 2022, at Athens High School, where Ardmore posted a 43-33 victory. That recent history gives Ardmore a small edge on paper, but nonleague nights often produce fresh matchups and breakout performances.
