The Panthers and Bulldogs fought hard in a defensive battle as both team came out strong. Terry seized a 29-23 lead in the first quarter. Both schools went scoreless in the second quarter as the Bulldogs carried the 29-23 lead into halftime.

“The guys did a good job fighting back from 11 points down with less than three minutes to play,” said BHS Preston Wilson. “After a pair of free throws put Terry ahead by one point, Lazorian McNulty hit a game-winning jumper in the lane as time expires. It was a team effort and a big road win for the Panthers.”
