BARBOURVILLE \u2014 Knox Central and Whitley County hooked up in a 13th Region heavyweight battle as the Panthers came away with an 88-79 win over the Colonels on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grayson Burton came up huge for Knox Central (19-5), scoring 26 points while finishing with 10 rebounds. Tydus Summers added 15 points while Hayden Melton recorded 11 points and 10 rebounds. Evan Hubbard scored 14 points while Nathan Dunn finished with nine points. Evan Taylor finished with seven points and four rebounds while Austin Bargo scored six points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGreat team win against a really good Whitley team,\u201d Knox Central coach Mitchell Madden said. \u201cWe are so unselfish. All of the kids just wanna win and it shows. They don\u2019t care who scores and we always have someone stepping up to have big game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhitley played well and were after us all night on defense,\u201d he added. \u201cHats off to coach Swords for being well prepared. It was an up tempo game from start to finish. We played a very discipline fourth quarter to hold on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The loss dropped Whitley County to 18-9. The Colonels were led by Bryson Mahan\u2019s 20 points. Henry Bowling added 18 points while Dee Parker finished with 12 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe did some things well tonight,\u201d Whitley County coach Eric Swords said. \u201cShared the ball well. But in crucial possessions we have to be able to execute better. We play hard but I know we got another level or two of effort in us. It\u2019s my job to get it out of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
