 Well, it's a top 10 battle in Class A boys basketball number six, cast like Mina and number four, Nevis. The pair have combined 29 and two record with each of their losses coming to other top 10 teams. They're also both undefeated in Northland play, but something's got to give round one tonight in Nevis. The Panthers came out swinging Arnold Kingberg the one man break all the way the bin for the easy two. That'll get them going and look at the unselfishness later. The extra pass to Noah Delapaz in the corner for three. That rattles home. 13-3 run to start the game, but how would Nevis respond? Well, Jack Lanquist goes to work down low battles for the ball. Finally gets it to go in the contact. Big points for the Tigers. Then later, if you have a 6-6 guy, feed him the rock. Hayden Kramer, nice finish with the left. That'll keep it close. The cast like Mina brought it tonight. Delapaz again. The nifty move and finish off the glass and the foul. They're up double digits and right before half. This was huge. Jarell Jacobs, he'll miss the three, but Ethan Brown the guard there for cleanup duty right before the horn. Panthers go up 18 at intermission. Nevis couldn't get it to single digits the rest of the way. So round one goes to the Panthers. Final score 80 to 64.
