We played hard but could not outrun those Sharks! Our "B" team also fell to the Shark attack by a score of 18-1 with Bailey Singletary putting the only point on the board for the Panthers.
On November 9th the Panthers hit the road again, to travel to Blountstown to face off against the Tigers. Once again, we had to accept defeat as the Tigers overtook us by a score of 42-19.

The Panthers ended the week on Friday, November 12th, at home facing off against the Tolar Bulldogs. The Panthers hoped the home court advantage would help us to overpower the Bulldogs, but unfortunately that would not be the case. The Bulldogs defeated us by a score of 50-32. Ken King was hot today! He led the team with 18 points, followed by Micah McCaskill with 9 points, Garrett Swier who added 4 points and Noah Davis who added 1 point.

Bailey Singletary led the team with 4 points, followed by Zack Haney and Ricky Ramer with 2 points each. Ken Thompson led the team with 4 rebounds, Haney followed with 3, Hunter Jaikin had 2 and Singletary got 1.
All in all, it was a tough week for the Panthers, but we're going to put it behind us and start over this week with the Franklin County Seahawks on Tuesday, November 16th. Come on out and support our team!
