The Lady Panthers hosted the Lady Rebels of Rich County on Thursday, Sept. 14.
It’s always a great battle when these two teams meet, and for those who witnessed Thursday night’s match, this was no exception.
Each game was an intense back-and-forth battle. The Lady Rebels took the first game and then the Lady Panthers took the second. The Lady Rebels won the third game and the Lady Panthers won the fourth game, so it came down to the fifth game to decide the winner.
The Lady Rebels had a large crowd of fans, and the Lady Panthers were also backed with great support. The Lady Panthers began to pull away, gaining momentum as their score came closer and closer to 15, but the Lady Rebels kept it alive. The Lady Panthers were able to dig deep and pull away just enough to take the big win.
