Gameday Preview: Teays Valley vs Logan

The Logan Chieftains (3-9, 1-6 OCC Buckeye) will hit the road tonight, traveling to face the Teays Valley Vikings (4-9, 3-4) at 7:30 pm in an OCC Buckeye matchup. The Vikings, hosting on their home court, will aim to sweep the season series after securing a 46-39 win in the previous matchup.

A Chance for Revenge

The Chieftains are coming off a tough loss to Canal Winchester and will be looking to bounce back against the Vikings. Logan's Makenzie Daubenmire led the team with 13 points in the previous matchup, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Vikings' Cami Robbins, who scored 15 points.

Looking for a Win

Both teams are struggling to find consistency this season, and a win tonight would be a much-needed boost. The Vikings have lost four straight games and are looking for win number five, while the Chieftains are looking to snap a one-game losing streak after dropping to Canal on Wednesday. The Lady Chiefs are searching for win number four.
