PHS Boys Drop Two Games

Unlike the senior girls, the Prescott Curley Wolves haven't found the mark yet in the 7AAA Conference. They have the potential to break it open any time, but they just haven't done it.

Poor shooting, poor rebounding and poor ball handling prevailed last week as the Wolves lost both conference games. They will not be able to improve their present record until the season resumes in January.

The Curley Wolves will play next week, however, in the Nashville Holiday Classic.

They will play next Monday around 9:30 p.m. The classic will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

CURLEY WOLVES 30

FOUNTAIN LAKE 48

The Curley Wolves took their first beating at home against the Fountain Lake Cobras, 48-30.

While each team was slow about scoring in the first period, the Panthers had the Wolves 10-5 after eight minutes. In fact, Prescott did not hit the two-digit level until just before halftime, but the Panthers led 21-11 during the break in action.

The Curley Wolves improved in the third period and scored 10 points, but Fountain Lake scored 14 during the same period to lead 35-21 as they went into the final quarter.
