The Kerle Tire Pre-Game Show starts at approximately 6:50 p.m. with tipoff happening at approximately 7:30 p.m. with Mike Kalinowski and Bob “The Governor” Dunkle on the call with Dustin Kifer providing pre- and post-game interviews.

The Panthers, who just two days ago looked to be oon the outside of winning the KSAC South, can now claim the Southern title with a victory after they beat Redbank Valley Wednesday while Moniteau lost to Karns City.

A loss by Keystone to Union coupled by wins either by Moniteau (vs. Redbank Valley) or Karns City (vs. A-C Valley) could open the door for those teams to claim the KSAC South.

The first time these teams met in Knox Jan. 4, Keystone was able to come away with a 53-48 win. Brooks LaVan led the Panthers with 17 points while hitting five 3-pointers.

Max Thompson added 12 points for Keystone with Isaak Jones contributing 11 points and seven rebounds and Dawson Steele seven points and a game-high 11 boards. Andrew Lauer also chipped in three points and eight rebounds.

Freshman Caiden Rainey had a team-best 14 points despite being saddled with foul trouble most of the night to lead Union. Karter Vogle added 13 points while hitting three 3-pointers. Quintin Weaver chipped in four points and 10 rebounds.

Jones won’t be available for Keystone Friday night, as he has been out the past couple of weeks with a hand injury. He is the second-leading scorer on the team with 10.6 ppg. Troy Johnson leads Keystone at 11.6 ppg with Steele adding 9.3 ppg, Lauer 7.4 ppg and LaVan 6.1 ppg.

Rainey has had a strong rookie season for Union and leads the Golden Knights at 13.4 ppg. Nolan Cumberland adds 9.2 ppg, Luke Bowser chips in 8.9 ppg and Truman Vereb 8.1 ppg.
