The 7th grade A team traveled to Northwest last looking for some revenge against the Mounties for a close loss earlier in the season.  Unfortunately, the Panthers fell just short, losing 38-37. After a great start to the game by jumping out to a 13-2 lead after the first quarter, Western got bit by the turnover bug and allowed a scrappy Northwest team to get back into the game.  Both teams played pretty even for the rest of the game down to the last seconds.  With about 20 seconds left and Western trailing by 1, we were able to get a steal and score a layup to take the lead.  Northwest was able to drive to the basket and draw a foul with 5 seconds left, unfortunately making both free throws. Our last second desperation shot was off the mark.  This brings our record to 3-5 and we host Hastings on Wednesday.
