Basketball - Boys 8th Grade 8th Grade Boys Basketball Team Travels To Lakeland
8th Grade
The first game of the season for the 8th Grade Avilla Panthers comes with a loss. This was a very good game up to halftime, the score 20-17 with Lakeland leading the game at the half. The Panthers played a very high energy game and being that it was the first game of the season they ran out of gas to finish the game. The final score of the game was 52-28. Everybody contributed last night with a good showing from the team. We had a lot of positives come out of the game for us and those will be great building blocks for the rest of the season. Scoring in the game was Andrew Gordon with 10, Nathan Haynes and Ben Tackett with 5 a piece, Dalton Gee with 4, Lake Clark with a three pointer, and David Schellenberg made a free throw.
Both teams will be in play again Saturday at the Central Noble Tournament starting at 9 AM.
