The Avon Panthers lost a tight contest against the Westport Wildcats 70-66.  The Panthers stormed back after a 30 point deficit late in the third quarter, but couldn't complete the comeback.  Andre Cordero led all scores with 24 points and 5 steals and Corey Mckoy had 17 points and 7 steals.

Emma Macdonald led the Panthers with 5 points in the loss to Westport. 

The Athletics Department is happy to announce that due to the decreased number of COVID cases, we are able to allow students and others to attend games!   So come and support our panthers! Just a reminder that all individuals that enter Avon Middle High School are required to wear a mask.
