Vincennes Lincoln ends Lady Panther season

The Lady Panthers suffer their second regional defeat in Jasper at the hands of the Vincinnes Lincoln Alices (the volleyball sectional champs ended their season there). They came out cold and appeared to be nervous, committing ten turnovers in the first half, and found themselves behind by 11 at the break. They didn't catch fire until near the end of the 3rd quarter when the lead had increased to 15, 45-29. The Ladies then turned it on, going on a 31-20 run the rest of the way. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, and although they had a chance to tie, down 3 points with 30 seconds left, they couldn't score, and a late foul gave the Alices the victory, 65-60. Keinsley led with 25, Bussabarger had 12, Dyer 11 and Decker 8.

Quite a run for the Ladies

With Saturday night's awesome win over host Mitchell (last year's 2A state finalists), three of the Lady Panthers notched their third straight sectional championship in three different sports. Jolanna Stiles and Jenna Keinsley were on the winning sectional softball team, then the winning volleyball team, and now basketball. Meghan Bussagarger started her streak on the track sectional championship team, then shared championships with Stiles and Keinsley in volleyball and basketball.

Outstanding!!
