The Panthers battled against the Metcalfe County Hornets, but couldn’t finish in the end, eliminating them from the Class A Tournament. It was a neck and neck clash all night long.
In that Jan. 8 home-game, the Panthers played aggressively on offense and defense keeping the Hornets on their toes.
After the second quarter, however, the Hornets were just one step ahead for the last two quarters and ended up securing the win. The final score was 47-55.

Leading on offense for the Panthers was Gavin Craft with 17 points followed by Noah Wood with 13, Connor Cash and Gavin Graham with 6, and Braden Perdue with 5. Wood also led the team in rebounds with 9 total.
After the game, Gavin Craft and Noah Wood were awarded places on the Class-A All-Tournament Team. Aiden Branham received an award placing him on the All-A Classic 4th Region All-Academic Team.
The Panthers face the Hornets again this Friday, Jan. 16.
