Panthers Club Heads to Meeting and Season Reflections
Elyria Catholic Panther Club will meet tonight at 8 at the school to elect officers. The Pioneers, once a top region team, faded to 5-7 late last season before Dickerson led a 10 of 12 late run and key wins over Fremont, Lorain, Sandusky, and Bay, despite a district finals loss to Admiral King. Dickerson, a Martins Ferry native, recalls four near misses at regional and district glory and notes past EC links to state tournament runs.
