Panther girls muzzle Bulldogs for win

Jefferson High’s basketball schedule saw its first pandemic-related casualty last week, as Powell County had to opt out of the games with the Panthers that had been scheduled for Friday.

That left Elkhorn rival Broadwater, which visited Boulder on Saturday. The Bulldogs took down the Panther boys, 62-54 – but Jefferson’s girls came back to win the nightcap, 56-40.

In the boys’ match-up, Broadwater came out on fire, going up 8-4. Tyler Harrington sank a two at the 3:10 mark, but the next five points went to the Bulldogs for a 14-16 edge. Joe Visser’s three-pointer started a Panther run, and Jake Genger finished the quarter with a pair of free throws to close the gap to one.
