Coach Finds Positive Despite Team’s Loss
It’s hard to find many positives
after losing a basketball game by 40
points. But that’s what Panther boys’
head coach Jeff Miller did following
his team’s opening round loss in the
2nd Region All “A” Classic at Panther
gym Tuesday, Jan. 17.
The opponent was Trigg County,
who used a full court press most of
the game to trounce the Panthers 99-
28 in the season opener at Cadiz Nov.
29. This time the press wasn’t as much
a factor as was the Panthers’ lack of
ability to put the ball in the basket,
which led to the 92-52 loss.
“We handled their press way better
than we did the first time we played
them,” Miller said.
This was only the third game in 18
tries in which the Panthers had scored
50 or more points. The other two were
also losses. The Panthers scored 61
against Fort Campbell and 64 in a loss
to Caldwell County.
“It was a high note for us to score
in the 50s,” Miller said. “We went in at
halftime having only scored 20 points
in the first half and told our players to
try and score 50 or 60. We did that.”
The score was 26-11 at the first
quarter break and 50-21 at halftime
when Miller challenged his team to
try to score 50.
The score entering the final period
was 71-37.
Tré Fambrough led the Panthers in
scoring with a game-high 20 points.
Also scoring in double figures was
Trey Miller with 12.
Trigg County was led by Da-
vid Wease’s 17 points. Three others
reached double figures for the Wild-
cats as 12 players scored.
Ryan McKnight hit three 3-pointers
