Sophomore Cole Hamilton looks for his teammates to pass the ball to, while the Crosby head coach demonstrates the defensive position to one of his players.

The boys basketball team competed in their first district match-up of the season on Dec. 19, losing 62-39 at Crosby. The Panthers went on to compete in a holiday tournament Dec. 29-30, where they went 2-2. 

The boys will be back at home on Jan. 6, in a ‘white-out’ themed district match-up against West Fork. Check out a slideshow of images from the 62-39 loss against Crosby.
