Preuss leads Panas to title
Sometimes there are games where a player simply will not let his team lose and that was the case for Walter Panas' Zac Preuss in the Walter Panas Holiday Boys Basketball Tournament Championship game Dec. 17.
Preuss scored a game-high 26 points in addition to recording six assists and grabbing five boards in the Panthers' 60-48 triumph against John Jay that gave them the tourney title.
Teammate Vaughn Dweck contributed 13 points to the win.

Evidently, the Lady Devils still have that come-back ability in them as they overcame a 30-14 halftime deficit to stun White Plains 52-47 in the opening round of the 19th annual Rye Rotary Holiday Classic Dec. 16.
Peekskill was led by Morgan Beechum's 19 and Asia Jackson's 14 points.
