The 8th grade A boys basketball team traveled to Harper Creek to take on the Beavers last night. The Beavers came out very eager with a high pressure press that the Panthers initially struggled with. The length and pressure of Harper Creek forced the Panthers into committing 8 first quarter turnovers. At the end of the first quarter the Panthers found themselves in a big hole, down 4-23. The Panthers eventually settled in and were able to get shots off but they would just not go down. The shooting woes from the first quarter continued into the second quarter as they shot 6-24 from the field in the first half and found themselves trailing 18-35 going into the half. Once the Panthers were able to gather their composure it was a competitive game with the Panthers outscoring the Beavers 36-32 the final 3 quarters.

More About 7th Grade B Basketball Battled Harper CreekThe 7th grade A boys basketball team lost a close game at home last night against Harper Creek, 46-49. Despite playing one of our best games of the season, the Panthers fell just short of upsetting a good Harper Creek team. We showed great teamwork as we handled Harper's full court press and trapping zone. It was also one of our best rebounding games of the year, as we earned many second and third chance opportunities. This brings our record to 2-3 and we look to even up our record Thursday when we travel to Marshall.
