The North Panola Cougars still struggle to find some consistent offense as they fell to Rosa Fort 73-55 in non-district action Tuesday.

Cougar head coach Dannis Jackson expressed a little frustration in the free throw shooting. The Cougars (2-5) shot 14 of 35 free throws against Rosa Fort. Rosa Fort led 22-7 at the end of the first quarter. North Panola rallied and outscored Rosa fort 15-12 in the second quarter and cut the lead 36-22 at halftime.

No matter what strategy the Cougars employed in the second half, they just could not catch up to the Lions to make a difference.

Scoring in double digits for the Cougars were Devonte Howard, 12 points; Ketwun House, 11 points; and Eking Miller, 10 points. Other scorers include Donte Howard, seven points; Jerotney Keilson, four pointa; Darrius Jackson, Robert Oliver, and Cordarryl Phillips, three points each; and Willie Patterson, two points. Oliver left the game in the second quarter from an injury.
