It is on to Albis tonight for the Knoxville Basketball Squads. After knocking off 7th ranked Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont on Tuesday, the boys will try to keep their momentum alive in a place that they had their biggest win of last season. The Panthers upset the Demons on their home court in come back fashion 69-65 and look to duplicate the game they played there last season. The Panthers got a career high 19 points from Jay Kellar on Tuesday to propel them past the Rockets and into sole possession of 1st place in the South Central Conference. The girls will be facing a much improved Lady Dees tonight. While Albia got off to a slower than expected start in the conference at 2-4, the Lady Dees pulled off a win over Davis County on Tuesday. Panthers Coach Matt Ritchhart tells KNIA/KRLS Sports this will not be a walk in the park, and hopes the girls remember what happened to them last season in Albia.

Ritchhart: “They’re playing really well. They have a freshman that is playing really well and Sophia Waber is their senior leader, but that freshman is playing well. And I hope they remember what happened last year, because this is not going to be easy and we’ll have to earn that road win.”

The Panthers had their worst nights of the year last season scoring only 29 points and losing 45-29. Listen for all the action on 95.3 KNIA at 6:15.
