[Panther Thunder]

Final from the Expo.

Ethan Rowe leads the Panthers with 26, as PHS improves to 11-7. Rowe moves into 8th Place in Points all-time at Pikeville High School with his effort tonight.

Big start by Pikeville allowed them to weather the storm later in the game when Kasongo went out early in the 3rd. Kasongo played well early getting 9 pts and 8 boards in the first half. Silvers, May, Johnson all stepped up big for freshman. Hamilton was solid as well. Big win for this program.

7th straight win for the Panthers over Paintsville, and big congrats to Coach Williams on his first victory over the legend, Bill Mike Runyon.

Paintsville never gave up and played really well the 2nd half and were without Trimble, who is battling the flu.

Pikeville advances to play in the 15th Region All "A" Championship Saturday Night at 8:15 versus presumably Lawrence County.

Big, big win. 1 more to do something that has not been done in 20 years at Pikeville! HAIL PIKEVILLE!
