The Western Panthers 8th grade team hosted the Harper Creek Beavers Wednesday night and dropped what can only be referred to as a shootout, 49-36.
Both teams scored early and often as each team put up three TDs in the first quarter alone.
Western was led by Logan Young who had 279 yards rushing with 2 TDs which included runs of 51 and 76 yards. Other TD scorers for the Panthers were Dom Galloway on a 44 yard run, Jett Archer on a 49 yard run and Ethan Harris on a 1 yard QB sneak. Daltin Sands, Harris and Young all scored 2 point conversions as well.
Defensively, the Panthers were led by Sands, Joel Toyer and Michael Kiebler who were all over the field making tackles. Kiebler also blocked an extra point attempt by the Beavers.
The loss drops the Panthers record to 1-3 on the season. Western travels to Hastings on Wednesday October 9th to take on the Saxons and attempt to get back on the winning track. The 8th grade game begins 15 minutes after the conclusion of the 7th grade game that begins at 4:30pm.
