The South Medford Panthers Boy's Basketball Team won their second Oregon state playoff game tonight in Medford beating the Oregon City Pioneers 77 to 59 in a game that was closer than the final score. In a full gymnasium that included much of Medford the Panthers were down in the second quarter by at times 14 points. Some were thinking about canceling their reservations for the state tournament. Oregon City was collapsing up to 3 players on South's ,Duke University bound, Kyle Singler. South worked their way back from a big deficit to tie the game 29 to 29 at the half. South broke open the game in the second half when the big men guarding Singler got into foul trouble. It was a very physical game and Singler had to go out near the end of the 2nd quarter with a bloody chin. In the second half when South broke open the game the South Medford crowd went craze. South fans charged the court at the end of the game in celebration. This was senior Kyle Singler's last home game. The team now moves to the final 8 at Mac Court in Eugene at the University of Oregon for the State Championship Tournament. Go Panthers on to State!
