Butch Foster handled both offensive and defensive duties, chalking up 14 points and snatching 14 rebounds to lead the Rappahannock defense. Walter Frye sank 10 points, while Godfrey Freeman added eight.
The Panthers outshot Manassas Park, hitting 50 percent from the floor, while the Cougars sank only 42 percent of their field goal attempts.
The Panthers did allow 23 turnovers, including six in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter. “We’ve got to work on them,” Coach Leake acknowledged. “But I’m not ‘ too worried this early in the season.”
The Rappahannock defense, “threw a wrench in their game plan,” he added. “I don’t think they were expecting it. We put in the press to establish the defense . . . that we’re quick enough to play good defense.
“We set our own tempo in the first half, played our own game. Then we put too much pressure on ourselves (early in the second half).”
“The team experienced (in the second half),” Coach Leake continued, “just how important momentum is. We forced them to make mistakes. Although they were ranked fourth in the state (in preseason polls) I honestly think the pressure got to them. We dealt with the pressure better than they did. It came down to which team wanted to win the most. We matched up well - I was pleased.”
The Panthers’ next game is at home tomorrow night against Brentsville. Junior varsity action begins at 6 p.m. Asked about the effect of the week-long layoff, Coach Leake replied, “I think it will be good - it will give them a rest.”
