Speicher Connects On Eight 3-pointers, Panthers Shoot Down Summit

Dylan Speicher connected on a school record 8 3-pointers Wednesday night to propel the Panthers to a 76-61 victory over Summit Academy.

Speicher finished with 32 points on 12 made field goals on the evening and broke a school shooting record in the process.  The 5’10” senior guard received recognition on social media by former Panther Mike Shoaf who was one of three former Panthers who made seven 3-pointers in a game.

@DylanSpeicher congrats – I set that record 18 yrs ago. Glad for you. Keep shooting, & always assure yourself next one’s always going in!

Thellman finished with 17 points and senior Jesse Fornataro also cracked double-digits, finishing with 10 points, for the victorious Panthers.
