The PHS varisty boys basketball team ended a 16-game losing streak to Monroe City with a 47-29 win at home during Senior Night last Tuesday.

Palmyra broke a 5-5 first-quarter tie with an 18-10 run to go into halftime and then out-scored their former nemesis 24-14 the rest of the way.

Tyler Banta led the second quarter run with a three pointer, capped by two steals and follow-up layups.

Banta, one of five seniors who started the game, along with Ethan Redd, Ryan McKeown, Bronson Juette and Jon Lundberg, ended up with a team-high 13 points.

Also scoring were Carson Hicks, nine, McKeown, seven, Bear Bock, six, Redd, five, and Lundberg, two.

Palmyra’s winless streak against Monroe City dated back to Dec. 9, 2017, when Palmyra beat Monroe for the Monroe City Tournament championship.

Tuesday’s win also put the Panthers at 4-2 in Clarence Cannon Conference play.

The Panthers held Bowling Green to 11 field goals in a 43-27 road win Thursday.

Palmyra got out to a 15-3 lead and kept that same edge going into the third quarter when the team went on an 11-3 run.

Ten Panthers contributed on offense, including Bock, 12 points; Hicks, eight; Drew Copenhaver, six; Redd, four; Banta, three; Juette, three; Jeremiah Edwards, two; Trey Smyser, two; McKeown, two; and Landen Gottman, one. 

The Panthers complete regular season action this week with games Tuesday at home against Hannibal, and Friday at Highland.

The Class 3, District 6 tournament will follow the next week at Monroe City.
