Late Free Throws Sink Panthers

Butler hit a pair of free throws with .6 on the clock to beat Neosho 66-64

El Dorado, KS, November 11, 2014:  Butler's Jacolby Harris knocked down two free throws with .6 seconds left on the clock to take a 2 point lead and hand Neosho their first loss of the season 66-64.
 
The Grizzlies (5-0, 0-0 KJCCC) never trailed in the second half, but the Panthers (3-1, 0-0 KJCCC) battled back to tie the game with 1:48 to play on a pair of free throws from BJ Jenkins. After a 3-pointer from Butler, Neosho again responded with a 3-pointer by Tim Billingsley with just a minute to play.
 
Butler would earn a trip to the foul line with 31 seconds to play after Joseph Acuil was whistled for his 5th foul of the night. The Grizzlies would miss both free throws giving Neosho the ball with a chance to win the game.
 
Tim Billingsley's 3-point attempt with less than 5 seconds to play rimmed out and Butler grabbed the rebound and raced the other way. Harris was fouled by BJ Jenkins with less than a second to play to set up the game winning free throws.
 
Brett Frantz led the Panthers with a season high 19 points going 7-12 from the field and 3-4 from beyond the 3-point line. Acuil was a force for the Panthers as the 7-0 footer flirted with a triple double finishing with 9 points, 9 blocked shots, and 8 rebounds. BJ Jenkins added 10 points and Freddie McSwain just missed a double-double with 8 points and 11 rebounds.
 
The Panthers will travel to Southeast Community College this weekend for the RKP Memorial Classic bfore they return home November 18 when they host Arkansas Baptist at 7:30 p.m.
