One question around Knoxville this time of the year is, how many games can the boy’s basketball squad win this season? The Panthers are coming off a six win season last year. On the surface not very many, however that was six more than the previous season when then won zero. Coach Jeff Larson will have to look for replacements to his top two scorers from last season as Gerritt Davis and Chase Higgenbotham both graduated. Coming back is Gerritt’s younger brother Trent who averaged just over nine points per game. Also, Nathan Winters, who pulled down 107 rebounds, and Chase Larson, who drained a team leading 38% of his three point shots last season. The Panthers will also play in the South Central Conference and will get to see where they stack up early on as five of their first six games are against conference foes starting with Albia on December second.
