They walked away with a 66-57 win over the Denmark Vikings on Thursday. For the Panthers, this counts as revenge for the 63-53 victory the Vikings walked away with the last time they faced one another back in February of 2024.
Oconto Falls' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jameson Beaman led the charge by going 7 for 10 from beyond the arc en route to 29 points and eight boards. Beaman is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for four straight games. Another player making a difference was Jj Pytleski, who went 8 of 14 on his way to 21 points.
Despite the loss, Denmark saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Brayden Jeanquart almost dropped a double-double on 18 points and nine rebounds.
