CAMBRIDGE, Ohio – The Maysville Panthers entered the 2020 season with a young team, sporting only two seniors and one junior in their entire lineup.
The season hasn’t been kind to the Panthers thus far; the team sitting at 0-3 on the season. But with more experience comes better results, and the Panthers were ready to get the ball rolling Tuesday night against an equally young Cambridge squad.
Cambridge broke out on a run early, at one point leading by 14 in the first quarter. By halftime, it looked like the Bobcats were going to run away and win big.
The Panthers fought and clawed their way back to tie the score at 51 late in the fourth quarter. Maysville’s Logan Smith would drop in a baby jumper to take a 53-52 lead with under thirty seconds to go, but Cambridge’s Sean Perkins scored on a put-back with under four seconds to go to earn the Bobcats a 54-53 win.
