Home 66-60, in a close and thrilling game. The Siloam Springs Panthers were next to fall to the Goblins, the score was 61-50. The team next dropped Van Buren 58-43 to set the stage for the Harrison-Valley Springs' game. The Tigers from Valley Springs came out all fired-up and were leading the Goblins 33-19 at the half, but hot shooting by Donnie Watts, who scored 20 points in the last half, pulled the Goblins out on top by the score of 58-53.
