That’s where Connor and his family spent fall break in October – riding the 60-foot water slide at Atlantis, walking the white sandy beaches and swimming with dolphins.

Saturday night wasn’t the Panthers’ best game of the week, but it was good enough to get the win and a 3-0 start to the 2013-14 season. The Carroll County boys defeated the visiting Williamstown Demons, 60-44.

“They had a good game plan, and we’re fortunate to be able to get the win,” head coach Carroll Yager said.

Senior Dakota Corbin posted his third straight double-double with 19 points and 13 rounds, while senior transfer Blake Kruzan had his best showing of the season so far with five points and 11 rebounds.

Members of the Carrollton Main Street program made the call Friday afternoon to cancel the Christmas event.
