For the last game, the Panthers faced Stanton. In the first set the Panthers played together as a team and won the first set 25-22, and also won the second set 25-17.
8th grader Eisley Urban said, “Overall I think we did great but there are a few things we could have worked on, but we had a fun time playing with our team. We are excited to continue our season and work on the skills that we can improve!"
Head coach Jennifer Maliha stated, “It was a good day of volleyball. We played some tough teams that got us out of our comfort zone, but we battled and we are still improving.”
