Photos and Story by James Hill
For the second straight year the Portland Community College men’s basketball team played a game in the Rose Garden, home of the Portland Trail Blazers. On Wednesday, Nov. 26, the Panthers fell to Tacoma Community College 70-54 after fighting to a 25-25 tie at halftime. The following are a few photos from the game:
