Junior Boys’ Basketball Team heading to CWOSSA

By George Le Gresley

Coming off an exciting quarter final in an overtime period, Tuesday the Panthers Boys’ Junior Basketball team travelled to Brantford Collegiate’s home gym to play their semi- final match.

For the first six minutes the Paris boys were facing a pressure defence where the Mustangs double covered the ball handler, forcing the player to make a pressured pass to a teammate In spite of this pressure the Panthers were keeping up on the score board when they were tied at 12 points on. From that point until the end of the game the Mustangs spread the point spread until the end of the game and won the game by a large margin

When the head coach was asked putting aside the semi-final loss, how would he define the season, he replied that “we’re not done”, as they had earned a spot at CWOSSA, the regional championship!
