The 2024 Knoxville Panthers vs. Cancer games are being made-up tonight after the original date was postponed due to weather. 

The JV games will begin at 5:00 pm followed by the varsity girls game at 6:30 pm. There will then be an honoree ceremony followed by the boys game to wrap up the evening. The silent auction bidding is now closed and it was announced that Panthers vs. Cancer raised $7,220 from the silent auction. The winner of the quilt raffle will be drawn tonight. Knoxville girls basketball coach Matt Ritchardt hopes they can raise as much money as possible for cancer care right here in Knoxville. 

“All of the proceeds from Panthers vs. Cancer go directly to Knoxville Hospital and Clinics and as people drive by they can see the amazing progress of the new addition to the hospital. Anything we can do to help make that new facility as top of the line as we can do, that’s our goal with the new cancer treatments happening in town starting I think this spring or so. That’s been our goal. To donate as much money as possible to the Knoxville Hospital and Clinics.”

Both the girls and boys teams will be wearing special pink uniforms for their games.
