With one game left in the regular season, Coach Shawn Cole and his Perkins County Plainsmen basketball team sit at a 10-11 record following last week’s win over the Creek Valley Storm, who are now 9-12 this season.

The Plainsmen took the scoreboard early on in the first period, and despite a brief tie and a minor slip, brought their advantage back up to 23-11 going into the second.
