PINEVILLE — Before the season tipped off, Pineville coach Brad Levy felt his Mountain Lions could make a deep postseason run, and they’ve lived up to their coach’s expectations.
Pineville (21-9) has already won the 13th Region All ‘A’ Classic championship earlier this season, and now they can add the 51st District championship as well after defeating top seeded Knox Central on Friday with a 76-71 victory.
The trio of Ashton Moser, Sawyer Thompson, and Jeremiah Beck proved to be too much to handle on Friday, combining to score 56 points.
Moser led the way with 21 points while Sawyer Thompson added 19 points and Beck added 16 points. Kaden Robbins finished with nine points while Cam Pickett finished with seven points, and Sebastian Kyle scored four points.
Grayson Burton turned in a 21-point scoring effort for Knox Central (22-7) Evan Hubbard scored 14 points and Evan Taylor finished with 12 points.
