Panthers Rally Back For Road Win at Hudson Valley

A basketball game in progress at an indoor gymnasium. A player in a white "Tompkins Cortland" uniform with the number 1 is dribbling the ball, driving toward the basket while being closely defended by an opposing player in a black uniform with the number 10. The referee watches intently in the background, while spectators sit on green-and-white bleachers observing the action. The polished wooden court and basketball markings are visible in the foreground.
