What to know

The Independence Wildcats travel to Sarah to take on the Strayhorn Mustangs in a non‑league matchup Friday evening. Tip is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT — converted from the game listing — at Strayhorn High School.

The teams last met Dec. 16, 2024, when Independence rolled to an 80-32 victory in the previous meeting (full recap and box score on the game page). That lopsided result gives the Wildcats an early storyline to defend; the Mustangs will be looking for adjustments and a quick turnaround on their home floor.
