The 8th Grade Panthers hosted Coldwater in a tightly contested matchup that took every minute of regulation and overtime to decide. Despite a tremendous effort, the Panthers came up just short. Leading the way for the Panthers was Ryan Crownover, who turned in an outstanding performance with a game-high 21 points and an impressive 13 rebounds. Crownover was a force on both ends of the floor, as he led his team in scoring and also defensively looking to take away driving lanes and make it difficult for Coldwater to attack the basket. Ty Ganton also put together a strong all-around performance, contributing 10 points and pulling down 9 rebounds. Quentin Woods added 8 points and dished out 2 assists. Kellan Zegarlowicz chipped in 6 points and 6 rebounds. Although the final score didn't fall in their favor, the Panthers continued to battle in a game that came down to the final possessions. The effort, toughness, and contributions from the whole team provide insight on just what these Panthers have to offer. Good luck in your upcoming match-up! Go Panthers!
