  • Girls fall 56-33 to Jaguars

    The Lady Panthers scored just nine points in the second half, falling 56-33 to East Jessamine Saturday at home.

    “East Jessamine was a very good team,” head coach Paul Stone said in an e-mail. “We held them below their 74 points per game average, but were unable to convert some of our shots in the second half.”

    The Lady Panthers handled the press well early on, which led to some easy shots, Stone said. However, the team failed to make a run in the second half. “We never could score two possessions in a row,” he said.

  • Turnovers plague girls in loss at Trimble Co.

    The Lady Panthers committed an estimated 35 turnovers in their 70-37 road loss to the Trimble County Lady Raiders. The game was originally scheduled for Friday night, but moved to Saturday afternoon due to severe weather.

    “We weren’t getting any loose balls. They were outhustling us to every ball, and we didn’t take care of the ball,” head coach Paul Stone said. “When those two things happen, it’s going to be a long night. We’ve got to take better care of the ball.”

  • Season Preview: Lady Panthers set goals high after first year under belts

    With a second year under their belts in head coach Paul Stone’s system and losing no seniors to graduation last season, the Lady Panthers will look to improve upon their 7-20 record last season.

    “That is one positive to not having any seniors is because you have the same players back,” Stone said.

    Having a new coach, a new system and no seniors on the team was difficult for the girls last season, and on him, Stone said. This year’s team will be better because the girls now have varsity experience and understand the system.
