After a long day and an emotional night Saturday at Panthers vs. Cancer, the Knoxville Basketball Squads will head to Centerville tonight. While the girls goal of winning the South Central Conference title have gone away, the Panthers can still dig in to finish runner-up and pile up wins before the stretch run begins. The Panthers have been turning up the defense lately allowing 44, 54 and 37 points in their last three wins. The boys still have a path to the South Central Conference title, and that is to win out, starting tonight against a team they dominated in the last meeting on December 16th. Coach Troy Pearson tells KNIA/KRLS Sports he knows his team has been focused on one goal recently, and he is confident they will respond.

Pearson: “We still have a chance for the conference championship, and Friday’s game means nothing if we don’t take care of business on Tuesday. Our kids are focused and they have that goal..”

Listen to the action live on 95.3 KNIA beginning with the pregame at 6:00 and the girls game getting underway at 6:15.
