Perry is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Friday. They will challenge the GlenOak Golden Eagles at 6:45 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Perry can't be too happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Friday. They took a 52-45 hit to the loss column at the hands of Louisville. While the Panthers didn't get the win, they did start the game off strong, beating the Leopards 15-11 in the first quarter.
Despite the loss, Perry saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Joey Luchitz posted 14 points in addition to five rebounds and four steals. Another player making a difference was Nasir Foster, who had eight points and three steals.
Meanwhile, it was a Battle of the Birds when GlenOak took on Hawken on Sunday. The Golden Eagles fell 70-61 to the Hawks.
Perry came up short against GlenOak when the teams last played back in January, falling 64-58. Can the Panthers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
