The Lady Panther volleyball team took a beating this past week and were hung out to dry.
They took on Fayetteville first and, at times, it looked like the Lady Panthers were back on track, but unfortunately they couldn’t seem to keep the lead and lost the match. Wirt also came to town for a makeup game, and the Lady Panthers once again had their moments, but mistakes and a seemingly lackluster attitude toward the match cost them the game and set.
The girls seem to have lost interest as if there season is over, but it is far from over. This week they are in action against Braxton on Thursday night, and hopefully the Lady Panthers can get down to the business of volleyball and get back on the winning track. It’s what they do, and it’s what they’re good at. They have the talent but it hasn’t come forward for awhile.
The sectional tournament is coming up soon with some tough matches, but the Lady Panthers can regain the prowess they have lost to some of the teams and kick some volleyball butt.
The week wasn’t all rough. however, as history was made on the team once again. Sarah Boggs and Lexi Woodyard, both volleyball killers, received the golden volleyball from coach Todd Samples signifying 1,000 kills during their four-year career as Lady Panthers. They have earned this award; the dedication it takes to get 1,000 points takes many hours of practice and dedication to the sport.
Congratulations to both these athletes, it is well deserved. Come out and support the Lady Panthers and cheer them on to regain the glory that is Lady Panther Volleyball.
