Meanwhile, Newsome fought the good fight in their overtime game against Tampa Bay Tech on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 34-33 to the Titans. The Wolves have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Armwood didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Newsome when the teams last played back in January of 2022, but they still walked away with a 60-55 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Armwood since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
