Madison Harris had 11 points for the Lady Panthers who only played the starting five the first quarter and the second string the rest of the game. Shannon Regan was tops for Lake Mead with eight points.
PVHS coach Amy Huntsman said, “I thought we played very well. I was glad we got to use all the kids. A lot of our younger players, who got some experience, time, and did some good things.”
Huntsman also said she is looking forward to having the team play in the Comstock Classic in Virginia City Dec. 12-14. “We’ll get to see a number of Northern Division IV teams, including Wells, Smith Valley, Virginia City and Eureka, and see what they have. It will be a really good tournament for us there”
