The Pikeville Panthers put up a noble fight that came up just a little short today in their first sweet 16 appearance in nearly two decades. I was their court side at Rupp Arena for all of the action. Pikeville taking the court in Lexington for the first time since 1999. Perry Central, this is their first trip since 2011. Getting things going early turnover for Pikeville will result in a Commodore's first points of the game. Damon Taubler to Idris Akanyami as slam to start the game. Panthers on the attack. Kyle Watkins to Cade Byers nowhere to go. Punches it to Connor Roberts and it's good. Pikeville is now on the board. Perry Central, though, able to score inside and out. Austin Hill, he drains it. Neck and neck in the first half. Pikeville continuing to answer Wyatt Battle. Steps back, pulls up, it's good. But the Commodore's kept on knocking. Damon Taubler goes above the rim putting in work for Perry Central. He racked up 12.8 rebounds and nine assists. It's just a three point game heading into the half. But the Commodore's throttled their way through this one going on a 17-7 run on the Panthers in the third quarter. Pikeville only shooting 30% from the field trying to take advantage of whatever they can get. Cade Byers up and in and in transition. Kyle Watkins keeps it for the jumper. Panthers defense unable to hold off the Commodore's as they pick up a sweet 16 victory. Final score from Ruff Arena. Perry Central 61, Pikeville 46. Congratulations to the Panthers on a great season. Perry Central, they advanced to the field of eight for only the second time in program history. And other boys, sweet 16 action. The Bowling Green purples defeated Graves County 68 to 51. The purples punched a quarter-final ticket. Scott County picked up their first ever sweet 16 victory after defeating 13th region champions. Harlan County 77 to 65. Scott's Jake Omer racked up an impressive 41 points and 17 rebounds. And as the first player to reach 41 points since 1989, Scott's will go on to face Perry County Friday at 1.30.
