Greensboro Panthers vs Forsyth Hawks

Despite being a first year team the Panthers came on strong in the match against the Hawks who have been playing together for several years. Several times through out the match the Panthers rallied together to add points to the scoreboard. Sarah received a pass from Kirsten and was able to place a perfect hit that the Hawks team was unable to defend against adding yet another point to the Panthers. During a crucial time during the game when the score was close Kelly was able to place a perfect spike that the veteran Hawks team was not able to return. With points rising for both teams a moment of truth came. An official called a ball out and stated that the Panther player did not make contact with the ball. The player in question Hannah chose to show herself as a player that loves honesty and the game more than winning. Hannah told the official that she in fact did touch the ball. The officials reversed the call and rewarded the Hawks a point. It took great courage and integrity for this young lady to stand up for what she believes in during a time when High School sports is all about winning. I applaud this team for showing the respect and integrity of true winners. Winning at the game of life and not the sport.
The Panthers team was unable to overcome the Hawks defense. In its first loss of the season the Panthers can say that they are more determined now than ever to come on strong and stay strong this season. Best of luck to this fine group of young ladies.
