high tally. On the defensive side, the Rappahannock 1 squad was equally as im- ' pressive, preventing any of 1 the Cougars from reaching double figures. The win put 1 the Panthers in the semi-fi- 1 nals against Stonewall’s 1 Generals at Warren County High School on Friday.
Unexpected Win
It was a Cinderella story 1 for the underdog Panthers. Flying high on adrenoline from the Manassas Park win, they ended on top, 5852, over the Generals who had finished the regular season tied in first place with the Strasburg Rams, the same Generals who trounced the RCHS squad 45-68 their last meeting.
For the Panthers, it was a two-man show. With Rapp’s high scorer Clarence Pendleton shut down in the first half, the burden fell on center' Tom Sisk. He accepted it willingly, giving the fans a demonstration on how to put the ball through the hoop. Hitting 70 percent from the floor, Sisk tallied 14 first half points, sparking the Panthers to a 29-27 lead.
Pendleton then reclaimed scoring duties in the second half, tossing in 13 points. Explaining his inconsistency, Pendleton said, “In the first half, I missed my first shot which always shakes my confidence. And if I’m not confident, I don’t score. Early in the second I hit some free throws which boosted my confidence and I felt better about my shot.”
Sisk was high scorer for Rappahannock with 16 followed by Pendleton with 13, Jeff Porter with 11 and Tommy Jenkins with 10.
