The Panthers were on point tonight defeating Victor Valley 72-59 in the first first head-to-head competition between veteran Head Coach Jeff Klein and his long-time mentee Prentice Harris. Harris recently left the Chaffey College bench to accept the head coaching position with the Rams.
Against VVC, the Panthers took an early lead, up by 12 at the half. Sophomore Eric Milner had a season/career high 22 points. Milner has been on fire since the return to play this month - averaging 19 ppg. Michael Henry added 13, Eulysses Foston 11, and Jozelle Carter 10 to round out the leaderboard for Chaffey. In all, eight Panthers scored in the decisive home win.
The Panthers return home Wednesday to take on longtime rival San Bernardino Valley. This is the second time this season the teams have faced off with the Panthers bringing home the win on December 18th just prior to the winter break.
