to Back Unbeaten 11.11.07
For the second straight season the Junior Boys Volleyball Panthers
Roared through their KASSAA opponents on the way to a perfect record.
The Panthers closed out their campaign with a convincing straight
set victory over the Ernestown Eagles on the court at Queen's Bartlett
Gym. After a even beginning to the match, RND closed out a close game
one before dominating their opponents in the second game. RND, perhaps
too eager to get their paws on the trophy, fell well behind in the
third game. However this set the stage for their most impressive display
as the team continued to positively encourage each other as they slowly
climbed back into the game before sealing it with a 25-23 victory.The Panthers will now host the EOSSAA championship on Thursday. Check out the championship movies on Panther Productions. Well Done Panthers. From
