The Powell Panthers are back in the 3A state championship game after scoring a 49-40 girls' basketball victory over Buffalo. The game was tied at 31-31 heading into the final quarter, but Powell held the Bison scoreless for the first 6:58 of the final period, during which time the team built a 39-31 advantage.
After struggling through a 4-for-14 performance at the foul line through 3+ quarters, the Panthers cashed in down the stretch. The team connected on 8 of 9 attempts down the stretch to ice its place in Saturday's championship game, tentatively slated for 6:30 p.m. The Panthers will play the winner of the Mountain View-Jackson game, which will be tipping off later tonight.
UPDATE: The Panthers will face Jackson for the 3A girls' basketball state title. Just like Powell, Jackson needed a big fourth quarter, outscoring Mountain View 17-3 over the final eight minutes, to earn a fourth meeting with the Panthers. Drive safely to Casper if you're heading down for Saturday's championship contest.
