STONE CREEK - John Flinner played the hero's role for the Charles Huggins-coached Panthers (4-2) (11-2), finding the nets for a 2-pointer with 6 seconds showing on the clock. The Trojans (1-4) (2-9), winners of their last 2 outings after a disastrous start this season, jumped in front by 4 points in the final frame, but couldn't hang on.
