The Troup Tigers will look for a breakthrough victory when they visit the Kendrick Cherokees on Tuesday night.
With Friday’s 58-51 road loss to Columbus High, Troup fell to 0-3 in Region 2-AAAA, and it will try to reverse that trend with a win over Kendrick, which is also 0-3 in the region.
The story has been a different one for the Troup Lady Tigers, who are 3-0 in the region, and they’ve won the past two region games by at least 40 points.
Troup’s teams will be at home on Friday for a region doubleheader against Shaw.
LaGrange High’s boys’ and girls’ teams will also continue their region schedules this week.
The LaGrange Grangers, who beat Shaw 49-24 on Friday to improve to 2-1 in Region 2-AAAA, can reach the halfway point of its region schedule at 3-1 with a home win over Carver on Tuesday.
The Lady Grangers, who have lost two straight region games to fall to 1-2, will try to get back on track with a win on Tuesday.
