Tuesday night the Varsity Panthers lost a tough district game to the Southwest Dragons. Defensively the Panthers played well, but the offense never got started. The Panthers are now 8-3 in district.
Saturday's game versus Harlan was rained out. This makes a tough week for the Varsity Panthers. Games will be played Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Please don't forget tonight, April 15, is Strike Out Cancer Night. Come honor someone you know who battled or is battling this terrible disease. You will be able to purchase a sign at the games this evening, and there will be a moment of silence during the varsity game.
