Panthers Overcome Second Quarter Scare, Down King City

The Pattonsburg Panthers overcame a second quarter scare and downed King City 78-46 Friday. The Panthers gave up 38 second quarter points to King City, who turned a 20-8 deficit into a 46-42 halftime lead. But the Panthers pitched a shutout in the third and fourth quarters, getting 22 in the third and 14 in the fourth for the win.

Pattonsburg overcame a 243 rushing yard performance by Parker Muff by getting back to their brand of moving through the air on offense and forcing turnovers on defense; King City fumbled it away four times and threw a pick.

Zane Reed had another banner night at quarterback for the Panthers, throwing for 592 yards, completing 50 of 72 passes for seven scores. Cameron Jones completed a pass for 55 yards for another score to put Pattonsburg over the 600 yard mark in passing. Reed ran for another 43 yards and three scores.

Brett Emig, out the last two weeks, came back fresh and anchored both sides of the ball. He had 21 catches for 327 yards and added 16 tackles on defense. Cameron Jones had 15 catches for 211 yards, and Brody Langfitt 14 catches for 98 yards.
