For the second year in a row the Portal Panthers were knocked out of the state playoffs by the Wilkinson County Warriors. In the Elite-8 Wednesday at Portal, Wilkinson County came back from a six-point fourth quarter deficit thanks in large part to free throws where they outshot Portal 21-3 in the second half and hit 13 of their 21 in handing the Panthers their first home loss of the season 46-42.
