The JV Squad came into the game looking to enhance their 19 game win streak against a skillful Hoosic Valley team. Both teams played well but the Panthers outshot and outrebounded the Indians to win the game 47-20.
The gymnasium seemed to be a bit quieter than usual. Then it all came into focus when Cheerleader Coach, Katie DiMaggio and her Captain, Liz Leva, came to request a photo of the Varsity Cheerleaders. The Squad had shelved their traditional Blue and White Hair Bows for an honorary Blue and Green Bow, the colors of Shen and Shaker, who tragically lost two students in a weekend auto accident on I87 in Clifton Park, after the vehicle they were in was rear ended by another.
Thank you Cheerleaders for reminding all parents to relish their children and for those who are driving to drive defensively and be aware of their surroundings since life altering threats can come from anywhere at any time. Thank you for the wonderful job the Lady Panthers Cheerleaders do and have done for the fans and players. The JV’s next two games are at Greenwich, December 12, and at home on the 14th against Granville.
