Oakwood High School Volleyball

The Varsity Lady Panthers battled the Lovelady Lady Lions for the title of “fiercest cats”. Kills and aces took the place of hisses and scratches in this “cat fight”, and the Lady Panthers came out on top! Photo by Melissa Missildine JV at Lovelady:

The JV Lady Panthers showed the Lions who was really king of the jungle when they traveled to Lovelady this week. Although both games were close, Oakwood came out on top. The first game was 25-23. The second game was 25-20.

The "Wonder Twins", Whitney and Breann Hicks were really on their game this week. Whitney had 8 service points and 2 kills. Breann had 3 service points and 6 assists. This is just one more reminder that they may look alike but, they are totally different personalities. Ashley Owens was really serving it up. She made 6 service points for her team. Chante Hudson and Brittany Cotten each had 3 service points. Cotten also had 5 assists and a kill. Shametris Owens had 4 service points, a kill, a dig, and an ace.

The JV team is looking forward to tonight's game in Grapeland.

Melanie Minter had her best game ever. She had 10 service points, 2 kills, 2 digs, and 6 service aces! Christina Hudson had another fantastic night. She had 16 kills, a dig, 2 blocks, and 2 service aces. Lisa Stevens had 8 kills, a dig, 4 assists, 4 aces, and 2 service points. She really knows how to maintain well rounded stats.
