The Burton Panther and Lady Panther Basketball Teams picked up a pair of wins last (Tuesday) night.

The Lady Panthers opened up District 26-2A play with a 66-47 win over Snook at the Burton High School Gym.

The wins improve the Lady Panthers to 8-6 overall, and 1-0 in district, while the Panthers are now 9-4 overall.

Both teams will be traveling to Hearne on Friday for district play. Because of it being the last day before the Christmas break, the start times have been moved up. The JV boys play at 2pm, followed by the Lady Panthers at 3:15pm, and the Panthers at 4:30pm.
