Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only the Knoxville Panthers walked away with it. They took down the Bluejays 65-50 on Wednesday. Given Knoxville's advantage in MaxPreps' Iowa basketball rankings (they are ranked 158th, while Perry is ranked 317th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Several Bluejays players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Maci Tunink, who scored 17 points along with eight rebounds. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Tunink has scored all season. Lily Meyers was another key contributor, scoring nine points along with eight rebounds.
Perry struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only four offensive rebounds. They are winless (0-4) when they can't control their own glass like that.
Knoxville now has a winning record of 11-10. As for Perry, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-18.
Knoxville didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next match, a 56-44 loss vs. Dallas Center-Grimes on the 17th. Perry does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
