The consolation matchup between the North Lamar Panthers basketball team and Greenville Lions squad may have turned out to be the most entertaining game in the Paris Basketball Tournament. In an overtime thriller, North Lamar ran past Greenville late in a 64-54 win.

“It was a great win,” North Lamar head coach Homer Garner said. “I told them we need to find ways to win if we want to do anything in district and playoffs along with developing leadership, so I was proud of them for doing all of those things.”
