It wasn’t clear to anyone, including Coach Mike Majors, what the Panther volleyball squad would deliver this year: After losing nine seniors from last year’s undefeated team, and a star junior to transfer, Majors was left with a very young group. Promising, yes – but how far could this inexperienced bunch go?
An answer emerged at last weekend’s District 5B tournament in Belgrade: Jefferson is tough. After finishing second, the squad will go at least to Columbus, site of this year’s Southern B Division tournament, Thursday through Saturday.
The Panthers won three and lost two over the weekend, putting up a good fight before succumbing in the championship match to Townsend. They will advance along with Townsend and third-place Manhattan.
