Undefeated I-8 Squads Battle: HS Basketball

As some teams head into the holidays and get in the occasional practice, some of them will hit the hardwood one more time competitively for the final time in 2014. The big match-up tonight features two undefeated squads looking to take hold of the Interstate 8 lead. The Pennfield Panthers will make their way to Marshall to battle the Redhawks in what could be an early season slugfest.

The Panthers (3-0) continue to use solid second half defense to pull them ahead in their wins over Olivet, Parma Western and Homer. While the team remains young, Pennfield holds a considerable size advantage over Marshall when you look at the rosters. The Redhawks (2-0) have two players (TJ Rocco and Brandon Turner) that stand at 6'3". Panthers senior Ryan Lowe towers at 6'10", and they also have 6'5" forward Steffen Kinne to help battle in the paint.

Be sure you catch us for the game tonight from Marshall on WBCK. Also in action is Harper Creek, who will look to stay undefeated at Charlotte, and the Pennfield-Marshall girls game should be highly contested as well.
