The cross country teams got in another meet. This time they were able to run the course at the Three Forks golf course on a very nice day for being outside in beautiful Montana. Next up will be a long trip to Red Lodge on Saturday, Sept. 19. This will be a first for the Panthers and will again put them on a course with views of the mountains. Races start at 10:30 a.m.
In Three Forks, the Panther boys were led by Logan Gillmore who crossed the line in 18:34, Logan Hornung was next in 19:40, followed by Dylan Mikesell, 19:55; Michael Emter, 20:11; Christian Gillmore, 20:32; Christian Davis, 23:00; Dominick Davis, 23:04; and Brendan Gallagher, 23:20. The Lady Panthers were led by Delaney Stearns with 21:50, Becca Nelson, 24:49; Austie May 25:56; and Hailee Stiles 27:28.
The JHS Panther football team traveled to Columbus on Friday night to take on the Cougars. This is a conference counter and it was thought by some that the Panthers would be in for a really tough time as Columbus had defeated Red Lodge the week before while putting 62 points on the score clock. It looked bleak at the start of the game, the Cougars took the opening kickoff, dodged around Panther defenders down to deep Panther territory. Seconds later they put the first points on the scoreboard, taking a 6-0 lead with 11:37 on the clock, but the PAT was not good. The Panthers started on their own 33, Riley Stock ran for 7 yards and the Panthers moved down to the Columbus 41 on a pass from Braden Morris to Tom Meyer. Then on 4th and 2, the pass went in and out of the Panthers’ grip and Columbus took over. A deep pass went to the Panthers 9, and on the next play, Columbus tacked on another six points, but a pass for two was no good and their lead was 12-0 with 5:27 left in the first.
