ELLSWORTH - Prescott's 8-1 record could not protect them from an off-night shooting on their part and hot one for Ellsworth High School's boys basketball team Friday evening. The Cardinals lost 59-41 and Panthers improved to 3-1 in the Middle Border Conference.
Prescott is also 3-1 in the league.
After a slow, nervous start in front of a large crowd in the Panthers's home gym, Ellsworth scored in double digits after the first quarter, increasing their output every eight minutes until the the final buzzer.
"We played very smart and very disciplined and we had our best game this season." EHS head coach Cory Brathol said.
The Panthers rallied from an 8-4 deficit to take a 23-17 lead at halftime and built their lead throughout the second half, outscoring the Cardinals 20-10 in the fourth quarter.
Three EHS players were in double figures led by Travis Krolls's 14 points, Chrystian Kulow's season-high 12 points coming off the bench and Alex Campbell's 11 points.
Ellsworth's defense held Prescott's top two scorers, Clay Seifert and Mike Lytle under 10 points. Billy Brookshaw and Nick Jacobsen both had 12 points to lead Prescott.
Ellsworth is off until next Thursday when they travel to Somerset.
