      celebration.
      In

      the
      two
     
     
      current

      joined
      on
      the
      court
      with
      some
      of

      former
      teammates
      who

      Some

      Finally,

      ’
      Packard’s
      uniform
      number
      42
      was
     
     
      unveiled
      in
      the
      rafters
      of
      the
      Sports
     
     
      Center
      as
      the
      crowd
      which
      was
     
     
      almost
      full
      to

      rose
      giving
     
     
      Packard
      a
      standing
      ovation.
     
    

    
     
      Following
      the
      celebration
     
     
      the
      men’s
      team
      took
      to
      the
      floor
      but
     
    
   
   
    
     
      were
      unable
      to
      come
      up
      with
      a
      win.
     
     
      The
      Capers
      upset
      the
      Panthers
      in
     
     
      their
      home
      opener
      82-76.
      Jimmy
     
     
      Morris
      led
      the
      Panthers
      with
      31
     
     
      points
      while
      the
      Capers
      top
      scorer
     
     
      was
      Craig
      Cline
      who
      had
      22
      points.
     
    

    
     
      On
      Sunday
      the
      Lady
     
     
      Panthers
      were
      less
      successful
      drop-
     
     
      ping
      the
      match
      80-59
      to
      the
      Capers.
     
     
      Kate
      Ellis
      once
      again
      led
      the
      team
     
     
      in
      scoring
      with
      11
      points
      while
     
     
      Krista
      Connolly
      added
      10.
      Cape
     
     
      Breton’s
      Heather
      Ross
      was
      top
     
     
      scorer
      for
      the
      Capers
      with
      17.
     
    

    
     
      Things
      appeared
      to
      be
      more
     
     
      promising
      for
      the
      men’s
      team
      on
     
     
      Sunday
      as
      they
      finished
      at
      half
     
     
      time
      up
      40
      to
      38.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Capers
      came
      out
      in
      the
     
     
      second
      half
      and
      took
      the
      lead
      but
     
     
      the
      Panthers
      were
      able
      to
      take
      it
     
     
      back
      once
      again
      when
      Dave
      Love
     
     
      hit
      a
      three-pointer
      to
      put
      them
      up
     
     
      62-61.
      However,
      the
      Capers
      kept
     
     
      the
      pressure
      on
      and
      the
      Panthers
     
     
      ran
      out
      of
      time
      losing
      the
      game
      86-
     
     
      82.
      Dave
      Love
      had
      the
      team
      high
     
     
      with
      22
      points
      while
      Jimmy
      Morris
     
     
      was
      second
      with
      21.
      The
      Capers’
     
     
      top
      scorer
