EXETER—The South Huron District
High School Panthers junior girls'
basketball team continued its strong
play Oct. 15, as they played host to
the Mitchell Blue Devils and the
Stratford Northwestern Huskies.
In the first game the Panthers
played well and stayed with the Blue
Devils for the first half, trailing 16-20
at the break.
In the second half Mitchell kicked it
up a notch and went on an 8-0 run as
the Panthers' shooting went cold,
leaving them with a 25-38 loss.
Jaemi Douglas led all scorers with
eight points, while Linette Melick and
Chelsea Brintnell added seven points
each.
Erin Wells with five, Taelor Douglas
with four and Gina Phouttharath with
two rounded out the Panthers' scor-
ing.
The Panthers resumed play in the
afternoon against the Stratford
Northwestern Huskies and like their
first game, the teams seemed evenly
matched as indicated by the halftime
score which stood at 17-15 in favour
of the Huskies.
Unlike the first game, the
Panthers dug deep and
outscored their opponents
by four points in the second
half to notch a thrilling 35-
33 win which wasn't decid-
ed until the last shot of the
game.
Taelor Douglas had the
hot hand in the game, scor-
ing a season high 17 points
including five three-point
shots.
Chelsea Brintnell added
six points and Jaemi
Douglas had five.
Also scoring for the
Panthers were Linette
Melick with three while
Taylor Obre and Gina
Phouttharath with two
points each rounded out
the scoring.
The Panthers continued
their strong play by win-
ning the Mustang
Invitational tournament
held over the weekend.
After a close 33-30 win
over the host F.E. Madill
Mustangs Friday night, the
Panthers rebounded to
chalk up two wins against
the West Hill Raiders of
Owen Sound and the
Knights from Kincardine.
South Huron coach Russ
Watson said the win
against Kincardine was
especially gratifying
because the Knights
defeated the Panthers in a
close championship game
last year.
Again the Panthers
played their tight man-to-
man defense keyed by
strong games from
Morgan Powe, Jami -Lyn
Datars and Morgan
Cooper.
Alanna Horn played par-
ticularly well on Friday
night, while Erin Wells
and Jenn Walker had
strong games on Saturday.
The offensive punch was
provided by Brintnell with
29 points, Taelor Douglas
with 26 and Taylor
