How good do you think these Mount Pleasant Panthers are going to be next season? They’re already really, really good.
Just ask Williamsburg, which was on the receiving end of a 68-48 smackdown last night in a Class 3A substate final at the U.S. Cellular Center. Mount Pleasant (21-1) is the top seed at next week’s state tournament.
“I’m happy for the kids because they are so deserving of making it to this point,” said Mount Pleasant Coach Paul Rundquist. “For me, …

MARION — Not this time.
“We focused on not letting go,” Kasey Semler said after his Marion Indians grabbed sole possession of first place in the West Division of the Wamac Conference with a 69-53 win Tuesday night over Williamsburg. “That was the big thing.”

That was unlike the first encounter between these teams Dec. 22 in Williamsburg. The Indians led by as many as 23 points, 16 at halftime, only to have Williamsburg …

“We lost our first three and we didn’t perform as well as we would have liked,” said Coach Aaron Feddersen. “We took a good, hard look … where was the season going to go?”
It didn’t figure to get better in Game 4. The Raiders were facing a veteran Washington team that was unbeaten and blitzing everybody it played.
