The Panthers drop a critical Metro West Conference game to the Knights.  DP's defense was not good enough as Ocoee guards Grant Riller and Vaughn McCall torched the Panthers for 30 and 24 points respectively.  The Panthers aren't going to be able to advance in the playoffs giving up 47 points in a half and 86 points for a game.  Disappointing game for DP.  We will have to rebound and respond quickly as the Panthers take on the defending 7A state champs Oviedo HS at Oviedo on Saturday night.  Elijah Jordan led DP with 19 points.  Malik William added 17 points and 3 blocks.  Nick Smith had 13 points and David Stephen had 11 points and 11 assists.  The Panthers play next on Saturday December 13 at 7:30 pm at Oviedo HS against Oviedo HS - the defending Class 7A state champs.  DP will need to play much better than they did in this game to claim a victory.

Elijah Jordan had a team high 19 points in the Panthers game vs Ocoee.


December 6, 2014  -  Providence  55  -  Dr. Phillips  52.  DP comes up three points short against Providence.
The Panthers wanted to challenge themselves.  We wanted to go on the road to one of the state's most respected programs, one of the state's best teams and challenge ourselves - face some adversity and see where we are at.  Well, the game lived up to the billing.  Neither team could pull away from the other.  DP led by a small margin for most of the first three quarters, but in the end Providence drained a three point shot in a tie game with three seconds to go to take the victory.  We are disappointed that we didn't win the game.  We played well enough to win, but we definitely got better in this game.  We are hoping it will pay dividends down the road.  There was definitely a playoff atmosphere to the game.  Thanks to the good people at Providence for playing the game.  Chaundee Brown led DP with 14 points and 5 rebounds.  David Stephen added 11 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals.  Jonathan Laurent had 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists.  Malik William was a stat stuffer with 7 points, rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks.  Justin Tucker led DP in rebounding with 9 boards and had 6 points, 3 assists, and 1 steal.  Nick Smith had 3 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals.  The Panthers play next at home on Tuesday December 9th at 7:30 pm against Ocoee High School.  Ocoee is currently undefeated on the season and a Metro West Conference opponent.  Should be a great game.  Come out to the 'House of Payne' on Tuesday and support your Panthers.

Justin Tucker had a team high 9 rebounds and 6 points against Providence.


December 2, 2014  -  Dr. Phillips  76  -  Edgewater  36.  The Panthers come up huge in their Metro Conference matchup with the Eagles.
The team was collectively disappointed with their poor performance on Saturday and the Panthers took out their frustrations on Edgewater in a big 76-36 win.  The Panthers dominated this game with a balanced scoring effort.  Jonathan Laurent led DP with 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.  David Stephen had 16 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds.  Chaundee Brown had 16 points and 3 rebounds.  Justin Tucker had 8 points and 3 rebounds.  Elijah Jordan had 8 points and 5 rebounds.  Malik William was a stat stuffer with 8 rebounds, 4 points, 2 assists, and 2 blocks.  The Panthers improve to 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in the Metro Conference.  It was a great overall team performance tonight.  The Panthers play next on Saturday December 6th at Jacksonville Providence at 7:00 pm.  Providence is one of the best teams in the state of Florida regardless of classification, so it should be a great test for the Panthers!  Congrats to the team on their big win over Edgewater and good luck this weekend in this big matchup of two of Florida's best high school programs!

Chaundee Brown had 16 points in the DP win over Edgewater.


November 29, 2014  -  Windermere Prep 68  -  Dr. Phillips  58.  DP suffers their first loss of the season.
DP was facing a tough test against a very talented Windermere Prep squad and unfortunately the Panthers weren't up to the challenge.  Windermere Prep pretty much controlled the entire game. Jonathan Laurent led DP with 16 points and Elijah Jordan added 11, but no other Panther was able to crack double figures in scoring or rebounding.  Disappointing outing for DP.  The Panthers will go back to work and try to improve some weaknesses that were exposed by Windermere Prep.  DP falls to 3-1 on the season.  The Panthers next play on Tuesday December 2nd in a big Metro Conference game at Edgewater High School.  Game time is 7:30 pm.  The Panthers will get one of their football players back for Edgewater - Nick Smith.  Our 2nd football player, Q Bargnare is doubtful to play until an ankle injury heals.  Good luck to the Panthers on Tuesday against Edgewater.

Jonathan Laurent had 16 points in the DP game vs Windermere Prep.


November 26, 2014 - Dr. Phillips 72  -  Spruce Creek 58.  DP takes down Spruce Creek in the Metro vs Florida Challenge.
The Panthers faced a tough test against Spruce Creek whom is ranked #1 in the Daytona area by the Daytona Beach New Journal.  DP was up to the challenge as they dominated the first three quarters and pulled away for the 72-58 victory.  Four Panthers scored in double figures for the game.  Jonathan Laurent led DP with 20 points, 7 steals, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.  David Stephen was solid with 15 points, 5 assists, and 2 rebounds.  Justin Tucker was good in his 2nd varsity start logging 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.  Wilkins Desir was a stat stuffer with 12 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals.  Malik William had 10 rebounds, 6 points, 4 blocks, 3 assists, and 3 steals.  Great job Malik!  Elijah Jordan chipped in 5 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds in the Panther win.  DP improves to 3-0 on the season.  The Panthers next take on a very good Windermere Prep squad on Saturday November 29th at 4:00 pm at Apopka High School.  It is our second game in the Metro vs Florida Challenge event.  Congrats to the team on the win over a very good Spruce Creek team.

November 20, 2014 - Dr. Phillips 90  -  Olympia 43.  The Panthers improve to 22-4 all time against backyard rival Olympia.
It's always a big game for the Panthers when they take on Olympia, a school just three miles away from DP.  The Panthers were fired up to start the game and it showed.  DP jumped out to a 25-1 lead in the first quarter and dominated the game from beginning to end.  Five Panthers finished in double figures. The game went to a running clock early in the third quarter.  Jonathan Laurent led the charge with 27 points.  David Stephen had 18 points.  Chaundee Brown had 14 points.  Richard McKenzie had a career high 13 points.  Justin Tucker had 10 points.  The Panthers improve to 22-4 in the all time series against the Titans.  DP improves to 2-0 on the season and 1-0 in the Metro Conference.  Congrats to the Panthers on dominating the Titans.  DP plays next on Wednesday November 26th at 3:30 pm against Spruce Creek at Apopka HS in the Metro vs Florida Challenge.
