The second half went to Jackson as the Ironmen scored 23 points to nine in the third quarter to take a 47-39 lead.

The fourth quarter was taken by Jackson, 22-7 to put the final tally at 69-46.

The Panthers (0-6, 0-4) will play at Washington High School against the Blue Lions Saturday.

It will be an afternoon and evening of basketball as the two Fayette County schools will first play a j-v girls game at 3 p.m., followed by a j-v boys game, then a varsity girls game and finally the varsity boys will take the floor.
