Final from Whitesburg.

LCC misses a wide open three that rimmed in and out at the horn that could have won it.

Panthers rested some legs and slowed it down tonight, but sped it up just enough in the 4th to get and maintain a lead after trailing most of the first 3 quarters.

Ray Kasongo, say what you will about most nights, was a monster tonight. 21 points, 17 rebounds, and 7 blocks. He had a couple of nice slams and one put back two-handed slam that is one of the best jams I have seen at the HS level. Kid is an athletic freak, and if he plays like that consistently, he is hard to stop. The Cordia guys were loving it tonight haha.

Ethan Rowe was held scoreless by a solid Cougar D until the 4th quarter when he added a very big 7 points.

Steven Silvers pitched in a huge 14 points, draining 4 treys. Once again showing flashes of someone that could have a big future. PHS needs to have that third option and Silvers and May have given it in certain games, need it more consistently. Johnson added 4, Hamilton 2.

Very good team win on the road when the team couldn't really get in its style.

First time in Letcher Central's gym and was very impressed. Great place to watch a game!

Good luck to the Cougars the rest of the way!

HAIL PIKEVILLE!

The Cordia guys could come over and watch, but they could not see to make up their game with LCC Tuesday or Wednesday.
