Pag Meter notes-The big news is Memorial Panthers Dameane Douglas sprained his ankle real bad on Friday night in the Clovis West Nike Tournament. The good news is, it’s not broken. X-Rays are coming to see if they are any torn ligaments. Stay tuned. Without Douglas, the Panthers are a completely different team.
