Collins Sets Record in Panthers Win

Make it two straight wins for the boys’ basketball team after the Panthers took down Fowlerville 53-46 Monday night.

The win improved the Panthers to 9-8 overall on the season with five games remaining before the state tournament.

The big story of the night came when junior Kegan Collins set the new school record for three-pointers in a career with his 103rd and 104th early in the fourth quarter. He broke the Stockbridge record of 102 previously owned by Skeeter Ballagh.

The Panthers took control early behind a pair of triples by Joey Ballagh and five points from Drew Robinson to take a 15-7 lead after one quarter.

Stockbridge went cold in the second with just three points and Fowlerville got within 18-15 at the half.

Both teams got hot in the third combining for eight three-pointers, but eight points by Robinson helped the Panthers remain tied at 34 after three quarters.

The game remained close in the fourth but clutch free throw shooting by the Panthers sealed the win. Robinson and Collins combined to go 10-11 from the line down the stretch, including 6-6 by Robinson as the Panthers held on for the win.

Robinson finished with a team-high 22 points to lead Stockbridge.

Collins finished with 17 and Ballagh eight. Jalen Rogozinski chipped in with three points, Zach Fletcher and Noah Lewis two each.
