The Lady Golden Bears Varsity Volleyball team traveled to Knightstown to play in the Panther Invite. The morning started off a bit slow and our Lady Golden Bears came up short in a 3-set match against Randolph Southern with scores of 25-27, 26-24, and 11-15. They went into a match against a well rounded squad from Milan and suffered a two set defeat with scores of 7-25 and 21-25. After a short break our Lady Golden Bears came out with a new mindset and won a two set match against Anderson Prep with scores of 25-18 and 25-10. Their final match of the day was against the host Panthers of Knightstown. The Panthers have a pretty strong squad and took set 1 with a score of 16-25. However, our Bears were determined and went back in set 2 fighting hard and ended up winning that set 25-18. It came to a deciding third set and the Panthers just edged out our Golden Bears with a score of 10-15. This was a hard fought match for both teams. A couple of notable stat totals on the day came from Junior Shyan Bennett with 4 Blocks, 1 Ace, 33 Digs, 34 Kills, and 69 Receptions. Shyan was named to and won an award for the all tournament team. Junior Sophia Bolton also had a nice day with 4 Aces, 9 Kills, 28 Digs, and 58 Assists. Our Lady Golden Bears are back in action Monday night (9/23/24) when they travel to take on the Raiders of Shenandoah. JV is scheduled to start at 6 pm.
