Congratulations to Panther Players it has been a long time coming and you deserved it.

Booher completely dropped the ball on this one. Shelby Valley lacked intensity and let Pikeville completely control the tempo of this game. Valley never really went into and all out press for more than a minute or so all night. They would set up in a zone press and just back up with the ball.

Any decent team that is willing to play a 2-3 zone can beat Valley. They are content to walk it up throw it around a jack up a three.

Pikeville shot 23 free throws to Valleys's 3.

Anyone close to the SV program knows they have not played well since the trip to New York and if they dont get their mojo back they will not win the region. Where are the days of an all out assault on the defensive end and an unsefishness that would make any old school basketball purist smile.

No loss is a good loss but now they need to rally the wagons realize everybody in the region wants to beat them badly and start playing with some heart and intensity.

Thumbs up to Bart Williams and staff because you coached a heck of a game.
