Senior night for girls’ volleyball was on Monday 20. The seniors that we have this year include Tiffanie Miller, Shannon Son, Kirstan Bennett, Jessica Carter, Sabrina Sedekum, Adrianne Summers-Reynolds, and Cassy Powers. Senior, Ty Coleman, was also announced for participating in Cross Country. We played against Lowpoint-Washburn and varsity played them to final scores of 25-23 and 25-20. It was awesome having more students and fans in the section, it makes it easier knowing there’s people supporting you. Thank you for coming out to watch the game and good luck to the seniors in their future!

We have had a tough season, but it’s all coming to an end now. Senior night was Monday the 20th against Low-point Washburn. It was a great match of three games, but we came up short at the end of the game. The following day we played against Abingdon. We had a great game, but still didn’t end up with the victory. This season has been tough, but we’ve all stuck together.
JV has had 6 wins throughout our season, so they’ve had a pretty successful year. On the other hand, varsity captured our first win against Manuel during the Princeville tournament. Today is the first day of regionals in Williamsfield, against Delavan. We are still striving for another victory, and hopefully today will be the day. Over the past weekend the patriot invite was held at Detweiller. Mrs. Cocquit said she was really proud of the runners. Josh Beeney and Brandon Mirabal got their best times. Also great job to Ty Colman finished in 165th out of 315 boys and Brandon Mirabal finished in 177 out of 315. Everyone did an excellent job. Keep up the good work.
In week 5, the Patriots hosted Lewistown in a conference matchup. The game started out promising, as Brayten Hess took the opening kickoff 50 yards to get the Patriots in good field position. However, Lewistown would crank up their offense, and win by a final of 68-14. Austin Ames scored his first touchdown of the year, with a 50 yard run. Blake Begner threw for a touchdown for the third straight game.
In week 6, the Patriots traveled to Abingdon to take on the Tornadoes, one of the best teams in the state. Abingdon won to remain undefeated. The Patriots host North Fulton this Friday. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BOYS’ CROSS COUNTRY TEAM ON THEIR VICTORY

October 7, PHHS hosted volley for the cure. The whole gym was covered with people in pink to support breast cancer awareness. Many fans came and cheered the volleyball team on.
In between the Varsity and JV games we announced the winners of the raffle. With our lovely journalism teacher, Mrs. Gibbons winning one of the prizes. Many people bought tickets to support the cause. Each dollar given has been donated. We had a great game against North Fulton. The first game being 18-25, second game being 21-25. We were ahead the whole second game, then suddenly they came back. We tried our best and worked together as a team. We each have our ups and downs, but we all appreciate each other. 2 facts: (1) although breast cancer is rare in men, an estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed and approximately 410 will die each year.
