If the Panorama Panthers boys basketball team beats Woodward Academy at Waukee High School on Saturday night, they will be in the State tournament. For 11 of the 15 members of the Panthers squad, this could be the second time in four months that they’ve competed in a State high school athletic tournament. Last time around the sport was football, and last time around the State birth ended almost as quickly as it began; with a 57 to 13 clobbering at the hands of Iowa City Regina in Iowa City. A nearly 5 hour round trip away, on a chilly Monday night.

For Panorama seniors Gavin Richey, Kole Steiner, Dakota Redfern and Luke Webner, this Saturday night’s substate game offers not only a second chance to play on a big stage, but a last chance for them to bring a State title back to their school.
