Photo by Jeff Steers, JTV Sports. By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Without a Division 1 caliber player on the Western High School varsity volleyball squad, the Panthers used a never-say-die attitude to earn a win on Friday night. The scrappy Panthers defeated Columbia Central 25-17, 25-21, and 25-22, to open the volleyball season. Both schools practiced outside since early August due to COVID-19 restrictions. They moved inside just three days ago. “It was hard to practice outside and keep everyone motivated due to the uncertainty of the season,” WHS Coach Kellie Mulnix said. “But we have a good group of all-around players. “We will have to win as a team because there isn’t that one go-to player.” The Panthers kept a number of rallies alive with hustle and determination not to let the volleyball hit the floor. Columbia Central fell behind in both of the first two contests, but battled back each time in their season opening match. “Our girls fought hard to the end,” CCHS Coach Jenny Tompkins said. “It…

In a season like no other, Jackson College’s men’s and women’s cross-country teams are enjoying the opportunity to continue to train and prepare for their upcoming competitions. “Practices have been going great. The runners are super excited for the season and can't wait,” said head coach Serafin Llerena. He and assistant coach Andrea Ortell are in their third year coaching cross country for the Jets. “Both of this year's teams are going to be heavy contenders and have the high potential of placing first in the conference,” Llerena said. The Jets women are coming off a strong year that saw them compete as a team at Nationals. The women finished third in the conference, while the men took fifth in the conference and had two individual runners compete at Nationals. The women lost three runners, including 2019’s MCCAA Freshman of the Year Renee Osborne, but have four returning -- Madeline Humphreys, Harmony Harpster, Lydia Anuszkiewicz and Alaysia Gutierrez. They will add their experience alongside newcomers Olivia Hubbard (Parma Western H.S.), Krissy Johnson (Hanover-Horton H.S.) and sophomore…
