🏐 8th Grade Recognition Night Spotlight! 🏐 Last night, we celebrated our incredible 8th grade volleyball players — a group that has left an unforgettable mark on the Lady Panthers program! Our three captains, Callie Odegard, Tinley Cooper, and Raimee Jordan, played vital roles in leading the team to a perfect 14-0 season! Their leadership, teamwork, and dedication set the tone for an amazing year of Panther volleyball. While we’re sad to see these talented athletes move on from our junior high program, we couldn’t be more excited to watch them continue to shine and grow as part of the high school volleyball program next year. 💛🩵🐾 #PantherPride #LadyPanthers #8thGradeRecognition #UndefeatedSeason
