Panthers open with win over
Malakoff, 65-47
Monitor Staff Reports
MABANK–Mabank’s Panthers used a strong fourth-quarter run
to pull away from the visiting Malakoff Tigers for a 65-47 victory
Monday.
The Panthers hosted the T.K. Gorman Crusaders Tuesday, following a
cancellation by the Canton Eagles, who (like the Panthers) have team
members still playing football
Tuesday, Nov. 27, the Panthers are scheduled to host the Van Vandals for
a non-district basketball contest, with a 4:30 p.m. freshman game
opening the evening’s slate.
Next weekend, Nov. 29-Dec. 1, the Panthers will host the ninth annual
Cedar Creek Shoot-out.
Mabank’s season-opening opponent was supposed to be the Athens Hornets,
who cancelled because they were still in the football playoffs.
Malakoff came in and worked hard to match the Panthers’ quickness, but
were unable to find the range in the new Mabank High School gym.
Behind Albin Gashi (five points, including a 3-point basket) and nine
points from Caleb McKee, the Panthers opened a 22-14 lead in the first
quarter, and still led by seven at halftime.
The Panthers maintained their lead in the third quarter, then put the
contest away by outscoring the Tigers 21-12 in the fourth period, led by
Griffin Marshall, who scored all seven of his points in the period.
Gashi led the Panthers with 15 points, while Tyler Fisher added 12 and
McKee finished with 11 points.
In addition to Marshall’s seven points, the Panthers got seven points
from Jacob Woodard, four points from Tray Phillips and two points each
from Cameron Tucker and Chris Tull.
Damien Givens led the Tigers with 17 points, while Cory Dawson added 12
points.
Vanoid Dawson had nine points.
The Tigers also got four points from Cornelius Richardson, three points
from Bernard Hall and two points from Bubba Heath.

so proud of these girls. What a wonderful way to end my coaching career.

at the state championships.”
