It was the only game of the week for the Glencoe-Silver Lake boys’ basketball team – and it wasn’t much to write home about. A matchup at New Prague on Tuesday, Dec. 8 turned out to be a forgettable affair, with the Panthers falling 67-25 to drop to 1-3 on the season.

Whereas GSL’s previous two losses both came in the final moments of games against Hutchinson and Sibley East, this time matters were settled early on. The Trojans led 39-17 at halftime, then held their visitors to a miniscule eight points after the break en route the 42-point decision.
