Entering the game on Saturday, Feb. 20, Panola needed to win its last two games to control their own playoff destiny. 

 Paris was fighting to finish in the top half of the conference, somewhere they have not been in a long time.  Much was at stake in this Region 14 contest.
 
Paris was ready to go from the outset and came out strong, shooting nearly 50 percent in the first half.  They started the game up 11-0 before the Fillies got things going.  Behind hot three-point shooting from Raven Alexander, Panola stormed back into the game cutting the lead to 20-14.   The offensive explosion would continue over the final 13 minutes and when it is was over, Paris led 56-35 at half.
 
The second half was more of the same early for Paris as they stretched their lead to 28 at one point.  The Fillies kept working though and made a late push, but it was not enough at the end as Paris was able to finish with an 86-71 victory.
 
Ariel Billington had 11 points,  and Tatisana Zhurauliova had 10 points in the loss.
