As the basketball season starts back up for Knoxville on Tuesday, the Panthers girls will start off the second part of the season with a battle for first place in the South Central Conference as class 2A #5 Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont comes to town. The Panthers are 5-2 after the first part of the season, and it is due in large part to the unselfishness of the players. Coach Matt Ritchhart tells KNIA/KRLS Sports while the Dunkin Sisters and Brittany Bacorn have been the main scoring threats this season, they have not cared who gets the points, or how they are scored.

Ritchhart: “They are unselfish, they do not care who gets the points. Give Brittany credit she was around 25 points and now since I’ve been giving her more defensive assignments she’s been around the 6-10 range but she’s been averaging 15 rebounds.”

While Bacorn’s scoring since her near-record setting 36 point ten rebound performance against Cardinal in early December, she is still averaging a near double-double of 9.6 points per game and 12 rebounds per contest. Listen to Tuesday’s game on 95.3 KNIA at 6:15.
