Panthers seeking first win in District 9-6A

Panthers basketball was unable to break its losing streak in District 9-6A.

They suffered defeats to cross-town rival Plano West 69-60 and state ranked Dallas Jesuit 57-53.

“It was good to know that we can play with teams like that on the road,” PESH head coach Matt Wester said. “I know as a team we feel like we should be closing out some of the close games in the next round of district.”

Jackson Davis finished with 13 points and Evan Williams had 12 versus Plano West.
