Why this one matters

The Tigers and Bears haven’t met since Dec. 29, 2022, when Nettleton rolled at Alcorn Central, 80-52. That blowout gives Nettleton recent momentum in the series, but every season writes its own story — expect both teams to look very different on the court this year. Alcorn Central lists 43 fans on SBLive, while Nettleton has 27 — small numbers that can grow if you follow the teams on ScorebookLive.
