Bruton unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a 62-58 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Tabb Tigers on Thursday. Panthers fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against the Tigers since Thursday.
Several Panthers players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Cy Gresham, who shot 50% from the field en route to 19 points. Another player making a difference was Johnathan Hopkins, who went 6-for-9 to rack up 14 points along with seven rebounds and three steals.
Jackson Houser was nothing short of spectacular for Tabb: he dropped a double-double with 27 points and 11 boards. Those 11 rebounds gave Houser a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of James Mueller, who posted eight points in addition to eight boards and five assists.
