Paris Panthers Senior Football Team cruise to victory over BCI

PANTHER FOOTBALL

With George Le Gresley

Arriving to the game about four minutes into the game, I had just missed the Panthers’ first converted touchdown starting their 7-0 lead. Sitting in the stands, I took out my notebook to record who ran the ball and how many yards they had earned. It became obvious to me that #8 Kruz Korslick was the main man in tonight’s Panther offence Kruz’s number continued to be called and scored the next touchdown to take a 14-0 lead running the ball a total of 59 yards.

By the end of the game, Korslick cruised down the field for two more touchdowns and an unofficial total of approximately 200 amazing yards helping the team take a 28-7 win over BCI.

Speaking to Korslick after the game, he stated that his and the team’s goal is to be the provincial football champions. This win is a great start and something to build upon following last year’s A.A.B.H.N championship title –the first of its kind for PDHS. In other action, the Paris Junior Panthers were shut out by the BCI 43-0.
