Panthers survive 2nd-half lull, 64-50
RED OAK — The No. 3-rated Creston boys basketball team nearly went into holiday break mode a little too early Friday night.
After blowing out the host Tigers 19-2 in the first quarter, including a perfectly executed lob off the backboard by Trey Thomsen for a two-handed slam dunk by Luke Neitzel, the Panthers found themselves in a two-possession game (49-43) with 4:00 to play.
At that point, the Panthers had been outscored 41-30 since the decisive first quarter.
