With their long win streak of 41 games at the Benton Invitational Tournament snapped earlier in the week, what was left for Pinckneyville to focus on?  More wins, of course is the answer. The Panthers were crisp and focussed Friday night as they dismantled the Sesser-Valier Red Devils 53-29.

In doing so they accomplished a rare feat in that they held their opponents scoreless after one quarter of play. Pinckneyville led 13-0 after one quarter. The second quarter saw the Red Devils erase the zero, but could add only 5 points thru the first 16 minutes of the game. The game itself was effectively over at half time.

Pinckneyville was led in scoring by Dylan Hardin’s 15 points.
