MS VB 2012-11-15

The middle schools kicked off their home 2012 season with a match at OHMS Thursday afternoon vs Mt. Baker.  NWMS was scheduled to be at home last Wednesday, but had to change it to an away game due to a School Levy rally in the gym.

For being the first match of the season for the Panthers, the 7th grade varsity girls played quite well.  They won their first game 25-20, stumbled a bit in the second, falling 23-25, then came back to dominate the final game 25-18 for the 2-1 victory.

The 8th grade varsity games were much closer, with two of the 3 games going to extra points.  The games were all characterized by the same pattern - OHMS would get a big lead, Mt. Baker would catch up, then the Panthers would dig in their heels to win the game.  The score for the first two games was 26-24, giving the Panthers the win,  In the 3rd game it looked over early, as OHMS was up 23-7, but the Grizzles served 10 straight times for points, but again the Panthers held on to win the game 25-18 for the three-game sweep.

Next week on Tuesday, OHMS travels across town to NWMS for an exhibition match.  Admission is free, and if you go, expect a very loud gym, as the girls get very excited and cheer loudly for their team!
