(photo/Nina Van Lieshout) INGERSOLL — On Nov. 18, the South Huron District High School junior boys volleyball team won silver in the WOS- SAA "AA" tournament in Ingersoll which pitted the top two teams from Huron -Perth and the Thames Valley Regional Association. As the first seeded "AA" team from Huron -Perth, the Panthers were first up against the number two seed Central Elgin from St. Thomas. South Huron started slowly, losing the first set then rallying back to win the next three in close sets to advance to the gold medal final against host Ingersoll. Ingersoll had defeated the second seeded team from F.E. Madill in three straight sets. The scene was set for a tough final and the Panther boys knew they faced a well -organized defence from the Ingersoll squad. Sure enough, Ingersoll came out swinging and the Panthers found themselves fighting for each point. The first two sets were close but in the end, Ingersoll captured the gold in three straight sets. So the Panther boys capped off a great season with a silver medal from WOSSAA. Coach Carleen Hone thanks the Grade 10 players who are moving on, especially co -captain and setter Corey Smith for his great lead- ership all season. Hone said Smith worked hard on the court and was always a positive role model for his team mates. She also gave kudos to co -captain and middle hitter Scott Overholt for his smart plays at the net. "Cody Lammie, our other setter and right side hitter was always enthusiastic and had some big kills in the front row," said Hone. "Our other middle hitter, Mitch Foxton was a strong presence at the net as were left side hitters Scott and Steve Gregus. "Steve Morgan is also to be com- mended for his finesse plays at the net and his great digs in the back row." "Well done, guys!" said Hone. She also thanks newcomers Rich Johns, Tim Lightfoot, Tyler Cooper, Bart Rynen, Andrew Gill, Marc Metzger, Andrew Pache and Austin Penhale for their unflagging support this season. COMING EVENTS...
