    Twin Valley wrapped up its fourth straight Black Diamond District regular season title with a pair of BDD wins last week.
   Josh Smith powered in 27 points to leas Twin Valley to a 58-53 win over Honaker Tuesday night at A.P. Baldwin Gymnasium. The Panthers then clinched the BDD title outright with a -- win over Hurley Friday night at Twin Valley High School.
   Tuesday's contest was one of the best-played BDD games in recent memory, with 13 lead changes and 10 ties, before Twin Valley took the lead for good with a 10-2 run at the start of the fourth quarter. The Panthers built a 51-43 lead before Honaker battled back.
    Clark Dye’s layup with 2:45 remaining got Honaker (10-7, 4-2) within 54-53, but it was the final points of the night for the Tigers, who missed their final seven shots. Smith scored inside at the 2:30 mark and added two free throws with 40.3 seconds left. The 6-foot-3 sophomore scored 10 points in the fourth quarter.

Panthers Finish a Perfect 8-0 in BDD With Huge 53-26 Win Over Council

    Twin Valley finished a perfect 8-0 in Black Diamond District play, despite playing a less than perfect game in its season finale.
    A strong second half pushed the Panthers past Council, 53-26, in a low-scoring BDD contest Friday night at Council Elementary School.
    In a less-than-dazzling offensive display by either team, Council controlled the tempo, Twin Valley got three starters in early foul trouble and the Cobras took a 6-4 lead in a low-scoring first quarter.
    The Panthers (16-6) rallied midway through the second period and took a 17-14 halftime lead. Twin Valley then stifled the Cobra attack, giving up just three points in the first 11 minutes of the second half.
    Adam Keen led Twin Valley with 12 points and nine rebounds. Josh Smith got all of his 11 points and eight rebounds in the second half, and Hunter Simpson scored all of his 10 points after halftime for the Panthers.
