Lack Of Offense Leads
To Two Panther Losses
A lack of offensive production led
to two Panther boys defeats. Union
County, coached by former Panther
Mike Hensley, visited Panther gym
Jan. 12 and defeated the home team
59-30.
The Panthers then visited
Madisonville to play North Hopkins
Jan. 13 and came home with an 80-35
thumping.
The losses brought the Panthers’
record down to 2-15 entering Tues-
day’s 2nd Region All “A” Classic
tournament game against Trigg Coun-
ty. (The score was not known at press
time.) The Wildcats defeated the Pan-
thers 99-28 at Cadiz in the season’s
first game.
