WELLS RIVER- On Monday, February 6th The BMU Bucks played the Thetford Panthers and lost 41 to 66. The Bucks had a strong start but a late-quarter surge by the Panthers gave Thetford a four-point advantage after the first quarter. The Bucks started off rough again in the second quarter scoring only 10 points while the Panthers had 16 points and expanded their lead.  The Bucks came out in the third quarter hoping to erase the 10-point deficit, but the Panthers came out on fire taking the third quarter 22 to 10 opening up a 22-point lead. In the 4th quarter, the Bucks still couldn’t overcome Thetford’s stingy defense. At the final buzzer, the Bucks fell to the Panthers 66 to 41. Thetford was led by Mitchell Parkmen scoring 24 points, with teammates Gilmen and McGovern chipping in with 15 and 11 points respectively. BMU Bucks seniors Ricky Fennimore and Evan Dennis lead the Bucks with 14 and 10 points apiece. With the loss, the Bucks fall to 9 and 3 while the Panthers improve to 10 and 3.  The Bucks look to rebound at home against Craftsbury, while the Panthers travel to Lake Region on Wednesday, February 8th.
