It was quite the week for Glencoe-Silver Lake girls’ basketball. The Panthers won two of three games – clinching a goal of playing at least .500 basketball before the return of forward Zoe Christensen and gave a top sectional opponent a fight to the finish on its home court before falling with optimism.

Oh, and there was the matter of crowning a new all-time scoring leader.

“Not a bad week,” coach Zach Otto-Fisher said with a smile.
