Friday evening’s game against the Hoosic Valley Indians was billed as a big game with two teams undefeated in league play and lead-in articles in all the major papers. Hoosic Valley was number three in the State rankings. One team was led by two high scorers and one team had scorers spread throughout the starting line-up. The game did not disappoint. Surprisingly, offense was not the highlight as defense stole the show in this game. The game ended with a 43 – 42 score, a season low for both teams.

Panthers Lose To Mt. Anthony
The Panther boys basketball team traveled over to Bennington Saturday evening to face the Mt. Anthony Patriots. In a fast paced game, the Patriots used sheer numbers to outrun the Panthers and get the win. The Patriots subbed five players at a time and just tuckered out the Panthers. The Patriots jumped out to a 9 – 0 lead, but the Panthers slowly but surely made up ground and were only down 28 – 25 at the half.
