A shout-out to the KP Panthers (17-7) with the 60-52 upset win over Ar-We-Va to advance to the Regional Finals in 1A.
Not sure when the last time was they were this far in the playoffs. K-P's girls' program had been down for a number of years and in fact had only been to state twice ('62, '67).
However, they, like several other teams around the state lately have had something of a youth movement the last couple of years with 4 sophomore starters and one senior, who is 7th on the team in scoring. They have 4 seniors total, and a fairly good freshmen and 8th grade group moving in.
The Western Valley Conference boasts some pretty good players and teams on a side of the state that's already rich with basketball talent.
