LOCAL Championship!

The Lady Panther Basketball Team defeated Salem Lutheran of Orange by a score of 42-18 in the St. Paul’s gym on Thursday, October 25, 2007, to win the Lutheran Orange County Athletic League championship. They did so behind the scoring of 7th Grader Mikaela Truckey (14 points) and 8th Grader Amy Marthaller (8 points Coach Hight attributed the win to the team defense which held Salem to just eight points in the first half and ten in the second. Kaitlyn Lofink and Siara Pinick ran the offense with precision by distributing the ball to Mia Gest and Kelsey Hughes who dominated inside. Courtney Lofink provided ample backup for the guards with her outstanding hustle and defense. Kristen Caskey came off the bench and provide a spark in the middle by grabbing rebounds and blocking shots. Bryn Gornick got in the action with a great steal and rebound.

The Lady Panthers finish the 2007 season with a perfect 12-0 record. Along the way they also won the Salem Invitational Tournament. The girls now qualify to apply for acceptance to the Lutheran Basketball Association of America National Tournament in March. Watch for details of how you can support their efforts.

Lady Panthers Take the Title

The Lady Panther basketball team won the championship of the Salem Invitational by defeating Salem 39-32 on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers were led by tournament MVP, Siara and All Tourney inductee Kaitlyn in claiming the championship. Along with these two players, key contributors sealed the championship such as Kelsey's clutch eight points in the third quarter, Mia's steady presence in the middle (blocked shots, rebounds, and key buckets), and Mikaela's steady hand at the point (coast to coast scoring!). The bench also made some outstanding "assists" to bring the trophy home. Kristen came in and defended the middle and grabbed a couple of major rebounds. Bryn came on the floor and immediately had a steal and near score. Amy stepped in at a crucial time and promptly scored in the middle. Courtney gave us the consistent ball handling and was very important in keeping all of our bench players focused on the game. Noelle, Lauren, Alex, and Danielle gave outstanding support and were a blessing to have at the games!

Congratulations!
