The eighth grade boys basketball team lost to the Leland Panthers by a score of 35 - 29. The Bobcats went into the halftime locker room with a two point lead but they couldn't stop the Panthers #23, in the second half. The Bobcats also had issues at the charity stripe going three for twelve from the free throw line. Connor Knutson and Carson Harper combined for twenty-two out of the twenty-nine points. Evan Cappi and Wyatt Hannibal each had four steals. Wyatt Hannibal led the team in rebounds with seven and played great defense along with James Havlicek and Fenix Johnson on the Panthers top interior offensive threat. The Bobcats travel to Big Rock on Wednesday to face the undefeated HBR Royals.
