[Panther Thunder]

A few thoughts:

-That is what domination on the road looks like. Stifling defense, solid rebounding, and high percentage shooting.

-If PHS doesn't turn the ball over 20 times (Credit BL Defense some) and shoot 6-17 at the Line, this is a 30 point blowout.

-Will Branham played huge with his defense and a career high 9 boards.

-Hamilton was huge tonight from the field. 2-2 from 2 and 2-2 from 3.

-Ethan Rowe was great in his return knocking down shots and being very, very active.

-To add on to this, Congratulations to PHS Junior, Ethan Rowe for joinging the 1,000 point club at PHS. It is a great accomplishment for a great kid and athlete.

-Betsy Layne did shoot the ball poorly, but a lot of that was Pikeville D. They only attempted maybe 3-5 wide open perimeter attempts.

-Great adjustments and development by the Pikeville staff after the drubbing the Panthers took from BL in the All "A".

-Ride this wave of momentum and bring home a District and Region Championship! It is doable, but effort has to be A+ every night like this from here on out.

-19-11 after all the losses from last year is a testament to the hard work put in by this program. #1 seed in the district and a handful of good road games. With all the injuries, it is very nice to wrap up the season at this point. Very proud of this team and program.

HAIL PIKEVILLE!
