I think this STATE CHAMPIONSHIP deserves a nice, fully developed story on the FRONT PAGE!!! There isn't a nicer group of young ladies than those on this PHS State Championship team!! I know because I have taught some of them since middle school!! Way to go Lady Panthers!!!!
I completely agree. CO needs to do a better job of supporting our youth and sports teams. Way to go Panthers! Great season!
With all the bad stories and global mess, this is a real hometown story. I agree this story should be on the front page!
Agreed many of these girls carry a +4.0 GPA, these are not just athletes, these girls are fine well rounded young ladies!! They have worked hard 12-15 hours a week, year round - this is more than an intramural sport. America needs stories like these. Sad this is not a highlight story.
This is a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! The Providence Lady Panthers have had very limited support from the CO throughout the playoffs and in their CHAMPIONSHIP WIN, yet Ardrey Kell had a large picture and story run about them after they LOST early in the playoffs? No one deserves a front page story more than these girls! Much less at least a picture and some accurate stats and correct names!
I've always been fascinated by the volleyball players! They are so graceful and sporty at the same time! Love this game more than any game!
