Tilghman couldn't hold on to a 4 point lead with around 40 seconds left and loses on a buzzer beating layup.

 

Centralia(Illinois) if I'm not mistaken is in the top 3 in 3A in Illinois and are among the all time high school leaders in wins.

 

Sure would have been nice to come away with the victory, but by no means a bad loss. Hopefully the schedule will get back to normal after 2 straight weeks of having multiple games cancelled.

Centralia is definitely one of the best 3A schools in Illinois. Jay would have been a big win for PT.

Carbondale has split their regular season matchups with Centralia. Each won at their home gym. That's a really good team Tilghman played tonight. Where was this game at?

Pinckneyville, Illinois at the Panther Showcase

I had no idea they were playing up there tonight. That would've been a tough decision between the Hopkinsville/Christian County game and this one. Any stats?

Trivia question: Which UK basketball player was from Centralia, Illinois? Hint-----it was between 1960 and 1990.

Cliff Berger is who I came up with....and to clarify, yes, I definitely had to look that up. Lol.

I know my UK history pretty thoroughly, but that one definitely got me.

Has Tilghman struggled at the free throw line all year? It seems to me they've missed a log in the games I've watched.

My first thought was Dan Issel but I believe he was from Batavia.

 

Whoever it was, they were an Orphan!

Yes, outside of Thomas, we have struggled mightily at the line this year a lot of times.

Yes, that is who I was thinking of....graduated about 1968 or so....was a center---about 6'8".
