DAVE'S POSTGAME ANALYSIS

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Archey, without question. He scored 17 points off the bench, 15 in the second half. He appears to have taken over Andrew Graves' role as sparkplug off the bench. The New Castle Connection of Archey and Brandon Miller seems to be working well.

Thomas Jackson led all scorers with 19 points, and also pulled down 5 rebounds. He bounced back from a rough outing at the free throw line in game one by knocking down all 8 of his attempts in this game. Joel Cornette added 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Miller chipped in 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists. The Panthers were led by Corey Watkins' 15 points (all in the second half), and 13 points from Joe Ransom.
