PANAMA — The Panama Lady Razorbacks basketball team knew when the Class 2A Regional Tournament began Thursday afternoon it needed to win three games in three days to make it to next week's area tournament in Wilburton. Win one is in the books.
The Lady Razorbacks (15-9) will play the loser of Thursday night's Talihina-Savanna game at 6:30 tonight on Chris Gillespie Court at Ray Henson Gymnasium in Talihina in the consolation semifinals. Tonight's winner will play at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Talihina for the consolation championship, and a trip to the Class 2A Area Tournament.
