The Knoxville Girls Basketball Squad took down Fairfield 62-42 heard live on 95.3 KNIA. The Panthers methodically pulled away from Fairfield to build a lead as high as 25 before settling for a 20 point win. Knoxville also turned over the Trojans with defensive pressure in the half court and full court. Panthers’ Sophomore Hannah Dunkin told KNIA/KRLS Sports the team effort on both sides of the court was key.

Dunkin: “I think we played really good defense as a team and mixed it up a lot, plus our scoring was really balanced and that’s why our lead got so high.”

Dunkin scored 18 to lead Knoxville while sister Emma and Brittany Bacorn scored 14 points. Knoxville finishes the regular season 14-7 and will await its class 4A regional opponent.
