Double Down - PHS finishes as runner-up

Leslie Thronburg scored a pair of buckets in the final 23 seconds of regulation to help the Powell Panthers rally and force overtime. Her shot at the buzzer of the first overtime period narrowly missed delivering a win to Powell, but in the second overtime, nothing Thronburg or any of the other Panthers could do could prevent a Jackson four-peat as the 3A girls' basketball champion.

Jackson outscored Powell 9-2 in the second extra stanza to once again deny the Panthers a shot at the school's first official girls' basketball state title. For more details on all the drama and heartbreak, see Tuesday's Powell Tribune.
