After losing their season opener, the Jackson County Panthers got a boost in their basketball Tip-Off Tournament last week.

They opened their tournament play by defeating Tallulah Falls, then moved on to the championship game, where they were narrowly defeated by Banks County.

Banks County is again on the agenda for the Panthers, as they will travel to Homer to face the Leopards on Saturday, and will look to even the score from the tournament loss.

Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

The Panthers were hoping that their tournament results would help take the sting out of a season opening loss on Nov. 20 at West Hall.

The first game showed that the Panthers were ready for competition, as they dominated Tallulah Falls 53-26 for the win.

Joseph Smith led the Panthers in scoring with 16 points, and also recorded five steals against the Indians. Juice Harrison recorded 11 points, and led in rebounds with 10. Jonathan Baxter picked up seven points on the game.

The win moved the Panthers to the championship round against the Leopards of Banks County on Tuesday night.
