Tough loss for Cusick
INCHELIUM – The Cusick Panthers football team ended up on the short end of a 74-68 shootout at Inchelium (5-0, 5-1) Friday, Oct. 10.
“We dominated the line of scrimmage and time of possession,” Cusick coach Dustin Person says.
Cusick had plenty of offense but couldn’t get enough stops against the league leading Hornets.
“We let this one slip away from us,” Person says, with the secondary giving up too many TDs.
Panther quarterback Kaden Person completed 11 of 15 passes, with five passing touchdowns. Daniel Lyon caught two of those passes, Steven Mathis caught two for scores and Judah Sutton caught one.
Sutton led the Panthers in rushing, with three rushing touchdowns. Lyon also had a rushing touchdown before he had to leave at halftime because of concussion protocol.
“That limited our offense in the second half,” Person says. Still, the Panthers had some big minutes from freshmen players, he says.
Next up for Cusick (1-2, 1-4) is an away game with SelPort (0-5, 0-5) at Selkirk Friday, Oct. 17. That game starts at 7 p.m.
