In their first game against Goderich, a slow start by the Panthers enabled the visitors to build momentum and eventually defeat South Huron in a 48-32 battle. A late surge brought the game as close as five points. But it was as close as the Panthers could get despite some great fourth quarter scoring by Mairead O'Rourke who scored nine, Missy Pertschy getting six, Julia Roberts putting down 10 and Kacie Erb with four. The Panthers suffered their second loss this season. In the second game with Mitchell, the Panthers scored early and often from the perimeter and would not be denied their second win of an early season. Melanie Smith led the team with 12 points while Erb had nine and Roberts had a hard fought 11. The posts had a good game on the boards rebounding but found it tough to score in the paint. Despite the frustrations off the glass, the Panthers had a strong game defeating Mitchell 46-20. Junior girls EXETER — The South Huron District High School junior girls basketball team continued their winning ways against the Goderich Vikings and Mitchell Blue Devils Oct. 1. The game against Goderich again featured tight defence by all Panther players and was the key to winning the game. On the offensive side the Panthers broke the 30 point bar- rier en route to a 31-20 win. The Panthers second game against Mitchell turned out to be a barn burner as the Panthers took two overtime periods to score a team high 53 points and notch a 53 -49 win. Teri Stuckless had an outstand- ing day offensively with 37 points. Nicole Insley added 15 while Taelor Douglas, Brooke Gielen and Danielle Daters had eight points each. Taylor Mattucci had four points on the day while Linette Melick, Gina Phoutthararath and Jaemi Douglas closed out the scoring with two points each.
