V. Boys l've never seen a game sell out so fast. - Mrs. Kay Johnson aturally, the Panthers picked up where they left off at the time of the tournament by manhandling the Wheeler Wildcats 88-75. The next eight games proved to be sweet ones for the Panthers. Winning all eight, the Pan- thers soon found themselves in a position they hadn't seen in three years - num- ber one in the state. Coach David Boyd attributed the teams success to, Good players who take pride in being success- ful. However, the game after the rankings came out was against a scrappy McEa- chern indians. lt was a difficult game, demanding everything we had com- mented Joe Thompson. The gym was a sea of fans standing and shouting for a spectacular finish. Some were joyous be- cause the indians were ahead by two points with three seconds to go,' but, the majority were ecstatic when Cal Boyd hit a fifteen foot Hail Mary jump shot to put the game in overtime. lt was one of those put it up and pray a lot shots, commented Cal Boyd. Although the game went into overtime, the Panthers lost their second game of the season 75- 65. The hordes were being turned away in what was considered to be the game of the season, the Wills Tigers vs. the Pan- thers. The game was a sell-out before the start of the girls game. Those who got in, stayed until the final buzzer went off Mrs. Kay Johnson, gatekeeper for the games replied, l've never seen a game sell-out so quickly in my life. The people re- ceived their money's worth. Again it proved to be a typical Tiger-Panther game, winding down to the final seconds. ln the end it was the Panthers breaking the tie by winning 70-65. We had ma- tured during the season, and we were ready for them this time, stated Eric Ma- lone. The next game was a date in history, it marked the first Basketball Homecoming, sponsored by the student council. The Panthers made it a perfect homecoming by devastating the Douglas County Tigers 84-58. The final game of the regular season was declared senior night. All senior bas- ketball players, cheerleaders, and their parents were pinned with flowers and in- troduced to their fans. Not getting to tied up in the ceremonies, the Panthers ended their season as they had entered in a blaze of glory, defeating the Osborne Car- dinals in overtime 70-89. This put their record at 78 wins and two losses going into the region play-offs. There is so much talent on this team, it's hard not to win, commented a smiling Jimmy Pitts. 704 Varsity Boys Basketball A Q 'iQlu1.i. X
