Leading Panther scorer James Fleener sat out the first half of the contest but led a 29-22 turnaround in the second half with a team-high 15 points, but the final margin was the closest spread since late in the second quarter.
Jett Simmons notched four three-pointers and finished with a game-high 16 points for the Bulldogs. Gabe Cole shot nearly 54% from the field (7-for-13) and finished with 14 points for Gallatin. He also chalked up a team-high three steals.
