Monitor Staff Reports
EUSTACE–The visiting Quinlan Panthers took
advantage of unforced errors and a big rebounding edge to speed past the
hosting Eustace Bulldogs 65-34 Tuesday.
Now 1-11 on the season, the Bulldogs were scheduled to visit Edgewood
Friday, and will host the Grand Saline Indians Tuesday, Dec. 19, with a
3 p.m. freshman contest opening a three-game slate.
Wednesday, Dec. 27, the Bulldogs will travel to Rusk for a three-game
slate, opening with a 2 p.m. freshman contest.

Wildcat Invitational tournament and will stay on the road in the new
year, with Games scheduled at Brownsboro Tuesday, Jan. 2, and at
Trinidad Friday, Jan. 5.
Against Quinlan Tuesday, the Bulldogs fell behind early against the much
quicker Panthers, who dominated the offensive boards.

their margin to 20 points by halftime, 34-14.
Eustace was unable to cut into the Panther lead in the second half, as
Quinlan outscored the Bulldogs 31-18.

KEMP–Kemp’s Yellowjackets muscled their way past the visiting Royse City
Bulldogs Tuesday, 52-31.
Now 4-7 on the season, the ’Jackets were scheduled to host Kerens
Friday.
Wednesday, Dec. 20, the Kemp boys will visit Wills Point, with
sub-varsity games set for 2:30 p.m., followed by a 4 p.m. varsity game.
Following a Christmas break, the ’Jackets will play in the Gatesville
Invitational tournament Dec. 28-30, and will remain on the road for
their first contest of the new year, visiting Kennedale Tuesday, Jan. 2.
Against Royse City, the ’Jackets put away a very physical contest early,
as they got some easy baskets by shredding the Bulldog’s half-court trap
defense with pinpoint passing.
Jacarri Culberson was on the end of many of those passes, scoring eight
of his game-high 16 points in the first period. He also had eight
rebounds and two blocked shots.
Justin Gibson (14 points, including two 3-point baskets, four rebounds)
and Joseph Simmons (12 points, including two treys) led the scoring the
rest of the way.
Up by 13 at halftime, the ’Jackets stretched their lead to 20 points
early in the third quarter and never allowed a Bulldog comeback.
Matt Brown had four points, six rebounds and one blocked shot.
Leif Skierski added four points and both Patrick Dowd and Josh Carr
chipped in free throws.
