Western Hills returned to the Cougar Den on Tuesday night, hoping to stretch their early winning streak, but Paschal spoiled the momentum with a narrow 45-41 finish.
Fans filled the gym expecting another strong outing after the Cougars grabbed back-to-back wins and looked sharp in tournament play, but the Panthers managed to keep control in another close chapter of a matchup that has tilted their way in recent years.
The loss drops Western Hills to 2-8, though the effort showed real signs of growth for a young team trying to turn the corner.
The Cougars now shift their focus to tournament action on Thursday, December 11, where they will face Lake Dallas and look to reset the tone heading into the winter stretch.
