The game was on PJ day for the kids, the last day before school was out for the holidays. The school year is nearly half over. The Bearcats travelled to the Panther court on Friday, December 19 for the game second to the last game before the new year.
The first quarter was a tight match between the Paulding and Spencerville teams. Near the end of the quarter though, Paulding figured out how to play keep-a-way from the opposing boys, taking the lead at 19 to 14.
Paulding widened their lead with Alex Arellano leading the charge, posting an incredible 5 – 3 point baskets!
The second half of the game the Panthers played a little more conservative and running down the clock, but they didn’t stop scoring. The game stayed in favor of the home gang the entire game. Another standout player for the game may not be tall but his points tell a lot. Preston Ingol is fantastic to watch play as he moves in and out, through the opponents as they just watch him.
The final score for the game was 54-41, a great win for the Paulding boys.
Another important point to mention is 24 of Paulding’s points where three point baskets. This is clearly a strength.
Points by Player:
Alex Arellano 24; Corbin Edwards 9; Treston Gonzales 9; Brad Crawford 7; Prestin Ingol 4; Christian Burch 1.
Great Job Panthers on the win!
