Salem Christian unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a blow against the Panther Valley Panthers on Tuesday, falling 76-43. The Eagles' defeat continues a trend for the team, making it five in a row dating back to last season.

The team also got some help courtesy of Connor Penberth, who went 6 for 15 en route to 18 points plus eight assists.

The win (which was Panther Valley's third in a row) raised their record to 3-0.
