The Prairie City boys opened up a 13-point first-quarter lead Friday and never looked back in their 63-34 win over Dayville/Monument.

“We came out and played our style of basketball,” said Panthers junior Jojari Field.

The style Field referred to was one that saw him and most of his teammates scoring in double digits.

Field, Cole Dieter, Lucas McKinley and Marcus Judd shot for a combined 53 points.

Despite running into foul trouble early in the game, Panthers head coach Bo Workman said the team played at a higher level and moved and shot the ball well.
