Notes and context
There’s no recent meeting listed between these programs on ScorebookLive, so Tuesday’s matchup is a fresh opportunity for either side to stake early-season momentum. Both teams have another game on the schedule later this week — Thompson hosts Shades Valley on Jan. 26 (3:45 p.m. Central) and Hillcrest welcomes Tuscaloosa County on Jan. 23 (3:30 p.m. Central) — so coaches will be managing minutes with that slate in mind.
