I liked going to the girls volleyball games. They push hard and power through, jump high, slamming the ball, and diving to save the ball. It’s not just about the game but about the teamwork. No one player can save the game from a loss, no matter how good they are. This is why you see the girls constantly encourage each other whether it’s Jaycie Varner, Skyler McCullough, Faith Vogel, or any of the other ladies. It’s a team effort!

This has been a good season for the Paulding team. Though they didn’t make it past sectionals, they worked well together.

The final game, sectionals, was played at Paulding on Tuesday, October 21 with the Lady Panthers fighting against Fort Recovery. The scores were 25-19, 25-20, 22-25, 25-21 with Paulding winning only one set.

Paulding closes a Fantastic season at 17-6!
