Prairie Home was led in scoring by Shianne Rhorer with 28, while Rachel Distler contributed 19 and Josie Flood 14 points. Rhorer and Flood each had 9 rebounds for the Lady Panthers.
Coach Armontrout said, "This was probably one of our better performances of the year. Everyone contributed. I am really proud of the girls and how they responded from a couple of losses last week. We played well together. It was just a great over team win."
The Panthers were also very successful winning 88-74 over the Indians. Coach Armontrout shared, "This was a great team win for us. A big win for us, but we have to improve our defense. We gave up too many points on the defensive end. We did do a good job shutting down their better player. We took away the 3 ball tonight, but we gave up a lot of inside buckets and a lot of second chance points."
The Panthers were led in scoring by Ross Kendrick and Creed Flood each with 34 points and 11 rebounds. Ben Stock contributed 11 points and 6 rebounds while Wyatt Borghardt had 9 points and two rebounds.
The Prairie Home Panthers and Lady Panthers will be participating in the Keyesville Tournament this week.
