The Panorama boys basketball team were underdogs on the road heading into Thursday night’s playoff basketball game at Interstate 35 High School.

The Panthers walked out of the gym in Truro with a 21 point 66-45 victory and their hopes of a state championship still very much alive.

Panorama will meet Van Meter in the Class 2A District 14 final Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Dallas Center-Grimes High School.

The Panthers have already beaten the Bulldogs twice this season.
