* The last quarter of play Saturday was pretty gloomy for the Panthers, but there was one bright spot: 6-3 junior reserve Seth Rooker's dunk. Rooker doesn't get much playing time, but if he continues to improve, with that athleticism, Plymouth might have quite an athlete to add to the rotation this year. Rooker grabbed a pass, took one step and threw down, giving the Panthers' faithful something to cheer about. It was so impressive that Port's Jon DeBoer, a solid player, gave him props during the next dead ball.
* Plymouth loses only two seniors, so the Panthers should be strong again next year. To take the next step, they will have to shore up the 3-point shooting (be more consistent) and rebounding. Losing Adam Doebert's defensive presence will be tough; a shot-blocker can erase many mistakes by a defender, and makes a guard feel more comfortable to gamble.
