Tuesday

night saw our local teams pitted against some of their

tougher regional competition.

The results

were mixed, but the experience is sure to come in handy

when they meet with these opponents later in the season.

Mill's boys and girls both had their hands full at North

Clayton Tuesday evening. The girls lost 49-40, while the

boys lost 68-55. The Lady Panthers either had the lead or

were tied for the entire game, until the fourth quarter.
