Thursday, January 12, 2012 Section B Defensive Effort Is Key In Girls’ Win

It paid off to do what their coach said Monday night in Panther gym as the Panther girls beat defending 2nd Region champion Crittenden County 55-42 to claim their fourth win of the year. Coach Erik Peyton asked his team to play good defense and he believes the defensive effort is what provided the win against last year’s state tournament team. “We were playing neck and neck with them,” Peyton said. “We were struggling a bit; then Presly Todd gave us a big boost.” Todd scored nine points in the second quarter when the Panthers turned an 11-6 first quarter deficit into a 26- 21 halftime lead. With the Panthers behind 12-8 early in the second quarter, Tayler Mills rebounded a missed free throw and put it back to bring the Panthers within two, and Todd put back a rebounded miss on the next possession to tie the game at 12. After Crittenden County made a free throw to regain the lead, Todd made a 15-footer off an assist from Amber Genseal to give the Panthers the lead for good. The pair followed up that play with another assist by Genseal and basket by Todd at the 4:30 mark to make the score 16-13. Later in the quarter with the score 21-17, Todd made a 3-pointer from the wing off an assist by Lauren Menser to put the Panthers up 24-17 with 1:47 to go in the half.
