Jordan is set to play the Paetow Panthers on Tuesday, Jan 16. The last time the Warriors faced the Panthers, the Warriors lost by 49-74. They are looking to bounce back from their big loss.
“We kind of threw that game away,” Coach Jones said. “We always have two throw away games each year and that was one of our throwaway games. We don’t even talk about that one, we just say ‘lets get ready for the next game’.”
Looking ahead of schedule, the Warriors have an upcoming home game against the Katy Tigers on Jan 19 and against the Seven Lakes Spartans, who are currently first in the district.
