Panthers hammer Comets

By ED HAMILTON
Remember that Elwood High School boys basketball team that went to Eastern back on Nov. 17 for a pre-season scrimmage, got manhandled by man-child Joey Price, turned the ball over 28 times and was outscored 52-36 by the Comets?
Remember?
Well, forget about ‘em.
On Friday night, the maturing and improving Panthers did the manhandling with an 83-62 shredding of the Comet defense.
What a difference two months can make.
Sparked by the inside-outside combination of senior Joel Moser and sophomore Jared Bourff, Elwood shot a season-best 64 percent from the field.
“It seemed like at times that every shot they took they made,” said Eastern Coach Kyle Bedwell.
Moser and Bourff each scored a career-high 22 points and combined to shoot 19-for-27 from the field. Moser, who shot 11-for-13, also collected a career-best 14 rebounds.
Throw in senior guard Korbin Buster’s 18 points and 10 assists and the Panther trio were more than Eastern bargained for.
