Photo by Melissa Missildine The Oakwood High School Lady Panthers traveled to Lovelady over the holidays for their first basketball tournament. OHS lost to Cayuga 35-51 in the first game. They lost again to Royal 28-38 in the second game. The Lady Panthers came back with a win against North Zulch with a score of 41-34 but lost again in the final game against Saltilo 42-52. On the back of last week's loss to the Frankston Maidens, this season is turning out to be a real bummer for the Lady Panthers. Maybe they can turn things around at tonight's away game against Kerens.
