| | Panthers fend off Lawrenceville, 61-53 | When a team gets upset in tournament play, sometimes the effects can last into that team's next game.
For Oblong High School's boys' basketball team, their hangover seemed to last well into Wednesday night's Little Illini Conference Tournament consolation bracket game in Bridgeport.
The fourth-seeded Panthers eventually shook off the cob webs and were able to pull away from a game eighth-seeded Lawrenceville squad and pick up a 61-53 victory.
"It wasn't pretty, but we bounced back and got the W," OHS head coach Brent Harper said. "The energy was there tonight and we just kept battling and kept fighting."
