The gorgeous gals of Superior went up against some tough opponents during Wednesday’s game in Globe against the Globe Tigers, with the final score ending 0-3 Globe.
The team has been struggling through a difficult season, definitely trying to firm up their sea legs as a new team.
Coach Cheryl Lopez looked at the brighter side of things, explaining, “Globe games were awesome! Freshmen won both games easily as did J.V. Varsity came out with nothing to lose. We lost first game 25 -18 but played well. Second game the girls were even more confident and played like pros. The game went back and forth …we had three chances to pull out the win but had two bad serves…resulted in second loss 26-24. Third game was excellent again; however, lost 25-20.”
Each player on the team has wonderful talent that in the right situation works exceedingly well against their opponents, yet it is finding the right situation or grooming the team towards it. Speaking with freshman athletes Hunter Flannagan and Alysia Fuentes, the girls said that it’s been a tough season, with Coach Cheryl Lopez working to rebuild the team having lost eight fantastic seniors last year. Both girls enjoy the competitiveness and challenge of the game.
Hunter explained, “Going from eighth grade to high school is very different and has definitely helped build the younger players into a team.”
At press time, the results of the team’s match against the Ray Lady Bearcats were unknown and will be reported next week. The Ladies will face their next opponent, the Hayden Lobos, in Superior on Wednesday, Oct. 19,, at 5 p.m. for the Junior Varsity team and 6 p.m. for the Varsity team. Come out and support the girls, help them to victory!
Lady Panthers move towards victory
