Panthers Advance to State Semifinals

05/31/11
OTHS Boys' Panthers Lacrosse Team traveled to Highland Park, Illinois to defeat the Deerfield Warriors in the IHSLA State Play-Off Quaterfinals 10-7. Trailing at half-time 2-6, the Panthers emerged scoring quick successive goals to quickly tie the score at 6-6. The Panthers defensive and offensive efforts continued through the 3rd and 4th periods holding the Warriors to only one more goal while the Panthers increased their lead to 10. For the first time in history the OTHS Panthers advance to the semifinals as one of only four teams vying for the IHSLA Lacrosse Cup. Go Panthers! Great Teamwork!


 
Brian Furrow became a one-man wrecking crew for the Panthers in recent weeks, most notably when he ripped the goal crease for 14 goals in just two games. Besides the phenomenal accomplishment, the senior player, the son of Ed and AnneMarie Furrow, also dished out four assists - drawing rave reviews from first year OTHS coach Kevin Finn.
