The Panthers move to 22-4 and face a key SWC game at home on Thursday against undefeated Alton, with the tip coming at 7:30 p.m. in a game that will go a long way into deciding the conference race.
O'Fallon Coach Nick Knollhoff is looking ahead to what may be one of the area's biggest games of the season.
"They've been playing phenomenally," Knollhoff said about Alton's girls' basketball team. "Kudos to them. So we're excited to see them Thursday on our home floor. It's going to be jam-packed. I know they're bringing a fan bus, and I know we're going to have a student section, so it's going to be a great game to be at and be a part of.
"It will be just another night in the Southwestern Conference," Knollhoff also said with a laugh, "because anything can happen."
