The old adage goes something such as this: "A win is a win." A win is not always "pretty," yet sometimes it is considered to be "textbook." Sometimes a win takes a total team effort or a little luck; sometimes a team is just better or an opponent falls apart and hands it to you. Sometimes it just takes more desire or more hustle than your opponent. Every win is different. However, a win is a win, and no win is probably bigger so far in this 2006-07 season than the Panthers' 48-44 win at Symmes Valley on Friday night. The Panthers have now won three in a row to go to 3-0 in league play and to even their record at 3-3 on the season.

The girls' varsity basketball team pened the 2006-2007 season with a home game against the Green Bobcats, the only SOC team to defeat them the last two years. The Panthers are the defending SOC I champions. The Panthers defeated the Bobcasts 60-49 to begin the season at 1-0, 1-0. The Panthers had big nights from Kristen Adams (14 points/10 rebounds), Cami Groves (16 points and 5 boards), & Dani Summers (doube digit scoring and 8 rebounds). Green does not have a JV team so no JV contest was played. The Panthers will play Valley on Saturday at 6PM (the JV will only play 2 quarters).
The junior high girls' 8th grade team began their season on Thursday at Green. They won 27-13. The seventh grade will play Saturday at home against Eastern and the eighth grade will be in action again on Monday.
