In the second quarter, the Panthers buried five 3-pointers – two from both Longacre and Tanner Clancy and one from Kyle Rosenberger.
Quakertown took a 36-29 lead into halftime and upped their advantage to 51-38 heading into the final quarter. They sealed the Firebirds’ fate with an impressive display of foul shooting. Sam Wilkin was a perfect 8-for-8 in a fourth quarter that saw the Panthers bury 13 of 14 from the charity stripe.
“We were able to maintain our lead in the second half with strong decision making and shooting 73 percent from the foul line,” Quakertown coach Anthony DaCosta said.
Longacre also was a force on the boards, pulling down seven rebounds. Wilkin finished the game with 14 points, which included a perfect 12-for-12 effort at the foul line. Tanner Clancy added 11 points, and Ethan Tomlinson finished with a double-double – 10 points and 10 rebounds.
