Monitor Staff Reports
TYLER–Mabank’s Panthers went 1-2 in the annual Wagstaff Classic
basketball tournament on the Tyler Junior College campus Dec. 27-29.
The Panthers will host the Brownsboro Bears in their final non-district
contest Tuesday, Jan. 9, with a 4:30 p.m. freshman contest opening a
three-game slate.
Friday, Jan. 12, the Panthers open District 13-3A play at home against
the Kaufman Lions. Next Tuesday, Jan. 16, the Mabank boys travel to
Eustace. Both evenings open with 4:30 p.m. sub-varsity contests.
At Tyler, the Panthers opened with an 88-71 loss to the Chapel Hill
Bulldogs.
Chris Mass, who quarterbacked the Bulldogs past Mabank in the Division I
football playoffs, again led Chapel Hill with a quadruple-double,
scoring 22 points, grabbing 15 rebounds, handing out 11 assists and
making 11 steals, while also blocking seven shots.
The second quarter proved to be the key to the contest, as the Bulldogs
outscored the Panthers 33-17 to take a 15-point halftime lead, 47-32.
Both teams matched points in the second half.
Wayland Pharms led the Panthers with 18 points and Kolton Browning added
15.
In the second round, Mabank rebounded to defeat the Troup Tigers, 77-59,
using a 23-9 third-quarter run to blow open a close game.
Browning led five players in double figures with 22 points, as Jarred
Batson had 18, Pharms 15, Barry Prather 12 and Haydon Blair 10 points.
The next day, Lindale’s Eagles handed the Panthers a 72-66 loss, opening
a 23-7 lead in the first quarter and never letting Mabank get close.
