Saratoga Lady Panthers couldn't be stopped

Lady Panthers Win at home and away

With 12 digs, Josie Little had no fear of hitting the floor. Her teammates, Olivia Everett and Whitney Bennett dug deep as well as Hanna Lathrop, Sadie Bangs and Shelby Knotwell. These girls had no problems keeping the ball in play.

Friday the Lady Panthers faced the Little Snake River Lady Rattlers and gave nothing away. Winning 3-0.

Scoring 25-19, 25-23 and 25-21 the Rattlers put up a good fight but the Panthers were still on fire from their win against the Pronghorns. The Panthers face Burlington as part of the 2022 1A West Regional VB Tournament on Friday October 28 at 2:30 pm.

According to Coach Shayley Love, "Thursday our girls played very well, especially considering all the emotions that go along with senior night. They played consistent and focused and we were able to work on some things we'd struggled a bit with. Fridays game against Baggs was probably one of our best games of the season. The girls truly played more composed than I've seen them. We blocked well which is huge for our defense and offensively we tried to capitalize on the weaknesses on their court".
