The road to Peoria and a Class 2A state basketball title runs through Chester where the Pinckneyville Panthers open regional play Feb. 22. The Panthers face the host team Yellow Jackets for the second time in three days. Pinckneyville throttled Chester 85-48 Friday night to wind up 22-5 during the regular season. Signs of encouragement like these popped up on Water Street over the weekend. Check with the Post later this evening for pictures and a recap of the game.
