Here's a cool sequence from the Panthers' Saturday night Regional win over Wilson, 79-55. Seen from the opposite end of the court, Preston Bates (24) launches a buzzer-beating trey at the end of the third quarter. He shoots with about a second left on the clock in the first frame. In the next three frames, the reflection of the clock (in reverse) can be seen on the backboard. As the ball falls toward the basket, there is three tenths of a second left, then one tenth of a second as it enters the hoop and in the final frame as the ball clears the net, the backboard lights up to end the quarter.
Buzzer beaters are always fun for the crowd and the Panther fans cheered loudly but the shot also was a dagger for the Wilson faithful who saw the score pushed back to a full 30 points, 66-36, to end the quarter. Wilson had staged a couple of small rallies in the third quarter but Preston's buzzer-beater was also a crowd killer.
If Glencoe must play ninth-ranked Wilson again Saturday night in Cleveland, they will face a team which will bring the sting of a painful loss with them. They will have a completely different mindset and motivation. The Panthers will do well to remember that.

Seventh-ranked GHS Panthers will play the top-seeded and undefeated Stuart Hornets Friday night at 7:30 in the Cleveland Event Center. Since neither team has a loss in the qualifying bracket yet this year, the winner will immediately qualify for State while the loser of Friday's game will have a chance to advance to the state tourney with a win Saturday night in Cleveland.
If Garrett Schubert's Panthers have to play that Saturday night game, it is possible that their matchup would be against one of two teams they defeated in the Regional Tournament they hosted in Glencoe over the weekend. Both Wesleyan Christian and Wilson (Henryetta) will be in the mix of possible opponents Saturday.
The Panthers were crowned the Region C Champions at the Jennifer Lazenby Event Center Saturday night with a win over ninth-ranked Wilson, 79-55. Hollis Garfield led all scorers with 19 points, many of which he earned by repeatedly attacking Wilson's backdoor as their defense moved out to try to stop the Panthers' long distance shooters. Styler Hendren scored 14; Preston Bates and Cameron Racy each added 13; Kent Rossander scored 11; Maddox Schubert had eight and Carson Racy made a free throw.
For Wilson, Ke'Shon Shelburn (1) scored 18 and Andrew Wilson (12) added nine. Earlier in the Regional Tournament, the Panthers beat Wesleyan Christian 77-65
GHS Athletic Director Tony Holt noted that the Panthers' first state championship in 2000 came after a loss in the Area tournament that year.
The Panthers defeated Wesleyan Christian, 77-65, Tuesday night in the Jennifer Lazenby Event Center. Styler Hendren led GHS scorers with 19 points; Cam Racy had 17; Kent Rossander, 15; Hollis Garfield 11; Maddox Shubert 9, and Preston Bates, 6. Wesleyan's Owen Hay (number 11) scored 27 for the District 6 champs.
Glencoe will face top-20-ranked Henryetta (Wilson) at 7:30 Saturday in the JLEV and while both teams will earn a spot in the Area Tournament, the loser will face elimination in their first area game if it loses. Wilson beat Earlsboro 83-62 Tuesday night in Earlsboro.
The Lady Panthers will face Wesleyan Christian at 6 p.m. Thursday night in Glencoe. Both ladies' teams suffered a loss in their district contests so only the the winner Thursday will continue to advance .
The Panthers took control of their game in the first few minutes with a strong full court press and forced several early turnovers which led a 19-9 first quarter lead and their half court defense kept Wesleyan off balance all night. Glencoe led 40-24 at the half but Wesleyan did pull within single digits a few times late on the strength of some outside shooting which had eluded them in the first half. In the end though, the Panthers' in-your-face defense and an offense that seemed to attack the basket from every angle withstood the late-game challenges.
A good home crowd attended the game and the Lady Panthers hope for equally loud support from their fans Thursday. Number one fan and former GHS coach and principal Chad Speer will keep the spectators dancing with (mostly) oldies rock and roll. See your there!

Are you a collector of GHS memorabilia? The Panther Tales Yearbook staff is desperately seeking a copy of the Graduation Program for the class of 2022. If you have one, would you be so kind to send a photo of the front and back to Mr. Brady -- bbrady@glencoe.k12.ok.us
We don't need your copy, we're just looking for the information on it. If you could email the pics, that would be great.
We need the class motto, the class colors and the class officers for the Senior Panel in the HS foyer. The yearbook staff and especially the families of the Class of 22 would be most appreciative. Thank you!
