Final.

Looks like the Panthers made some adjustments and are getting back on track. Played a lot better tonight than they did against Mason more cohesive and more hustle. Maybe coach Kirk had a talk and got some things settled. Looked like to me after the Mason game the boys were more worried about their stats and now this one they looked like they were out to prove they could beat anyone. A good win for the resume against a much bigger and athletic team. The 39th and 10th keep getting more interesting with each game any team plays

Huge upset of 8th Region power. Augusta starts five guards with tallest 6'1". Simon Kenton goes 6'8", 6'6", 6'6", 6'4" and 6'2". Augusta wins this game with hustle, rebounding and solid D.

 

Cameron Maddox leads Panthers with 30. Owens Crawford was in total control at PG and contributed 13. Snapp was big on boards and added 6, followed by Pugh with 7, Shoemaker with 4 and Staggs with 3.

 

Augusta known for their threes took less than 5 on the night choosing to dribble drive drawing multiple fouls. Their only successful three was by Maddox. Augusta was exceptional from the line hitting 32 of 41, with 5 misses coming late making for nervous Panther fans.

 

Refreshes Augusta back into conversations of being a player in the 10th.

Seems like SK is getting worked by PGs.

Big win by Augusta

Per the Ledger Independent "Panthers pull off a big-time win against a school 17 times their size."

RoyalWildcat those 32 made foul shots were huge!

Nice win for the Panthers.

Saw a brand of Augusta basketball that wasn't there in previous games. Boxing out, taking charges, tight defense and very solid defense. Passed on forcing threes as SK height gave few open looks. Driving to the hoop generated tons of FT opportunities. Great game plan by Kirk and execution by the team. Maddox was all tournament and he gave Panthers great start scoring teams first 10. The confidence from this victory could be huge.

 

I'm thinking the 10th might be much stronger then many think. #1 in 15th Lawrence Co. loses to Mason Co. Arguably #1 or #2 in 8th Simon Kenton loses twice (Montgomery Co. and Augusta). Christmas has been good for 10th Region!

Lawrence lost to Montgomery, Mason was on the class a side.

Lawrence lost to Montgomery, Mason was on the class a side.

 

Come on now, they are just warming up for their district. Playing nothing but All A schools.

How did Augusta pull this off? Unreal. Saw someone in another thread trying to say Simon Kenton was without 5 players when they lost to Montgomery County. Wonder what the reason is tonight?

I must say I am a bit surprised by this outcome based on the two games I saw the Panthers. Congrats on the win!

"Any team, any given night". Tournaments will be decided by who's hot at the right time. Who can string together 6-8 wins through the District and Region play in the 8th, 9th & 10th
