In what has been a difficult week for the Salisbury community, the Panthers gave it a reason to smile during Friday's semifinal matchup with Hartville.
Days following the death of a junior basketball player on the team, Salisbury pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 46-34 victory over the Eagles on Friday at Hammons Student Center.
The Salisbury R-IV School District announced on Monday the passing of 16-year-old London White. The school said, after discussion with the White family, that it supported the team playing in the semifinal game. The Panthers will play Principia at 6 p.
