Fairbanks’ varsity boys basketball team got out of the gate quickly Saturday night at Upper Scioto Valley. Unfortunately, the Panthers could not sustain that momentum and suffered a 63-59 loss.
The Panthers (5-9 overall and 2-3 in the NWCC) jumped out to a 25-11 margin after the first period.
They held a 35-29 lead at halftime but trailed 45-44 going into the final eight minutes.
Fairbanks (which will host Waynesfield Goshen on Friday) got into foul trouble (Patrick Scheiderer fouled out and Josh Conley had four) and saw Brandon Stewart leave the game in the first half with a foot injury.
