WOODVILLE – The Woodville Eagles got a nudge Saturday against the Anahuac Panthers.

The visiting Panther team got the narrow 54-52 victory, putting the Eagles at 4-1 for the season.

Eagles Coach Juan Olivo said he was proud of the way the boys fought and were able to get their way back into the game.

The Eagles fought hard, but trailed 19-28 at the half, and in the third quarter, they trailed, as well. Going into the fourth period of play, the Eagles trailed by 15 points. A 24-point haul was not enough to overcome the deficit.

Leading the charge for Woodville was senior Julius Thrower, who led on points and rebounds, with 21 and eight, respectively. Junior Christian Bean led in blocks; senior Jatavian Taylor led in steals and junior Ty’marion Walker led the team in assists.
