Panther boys lose to Bulldogs, 66-46
For almost three quarters of high school basketball, the afternoon of March 2 the Centralia Panthers boys’ team was the best in the district. “The Panthers put out a great effort,” said one observer. “Noah Kropf had one of his best games ever… Mexico started out overconfident, Centralia made the pay for, put them on their heels for the first half or so…”
Kropf led Centralia with 20 points. Anthony Ford scored nine, Cullen Bennett and Logan Rosenfelder scored six each
