Dick Corn remains the driving force behind Pinckneyville basketball

PEORIA – Pinckneyville basketball coach Bob Waggoner talked about how his team continued to grind Friday night in the Class 2A state semifinals at Carver Arena.

The Panthers, down 11 in the final seconds of the third quarter, had two open shots for a potential tie in the final seconds before a 67-63 loss.

“A lot of times, people look at them and think, they’re small town country kids” Waggoner said. “But they have a lot of heart and they’re not going to give in.”

Somewhere in Section 24, the man who brought Waggoner to the school had to feel that same pride.
