Sports Blue Mountain Eagle Wednesday, September 27, 2017 A13 S PORTS R OUNDUP Prairie City Lady Panthers buzz Hornets Prairie City ended their homecoming week on a posi- tive note Friday, the Lady Pan- thers volleyball team sweeping the Hornets. The Panthers won with scores of 25-7, 25-13 and 25-8. The event was also an op- portunity for the team and spec- tators to support local cancer patients. Prairie City senior play- er Brianna Zweygardt raised $1,500 in donations which will give financial aid to cancer pa- tients at Blue Mountain Hospi- tal. The fundraising effort was a part of Brianna’s senior project. “It was a challenging proj- ect but worth it in the end,” Brianna said. “I’m glad I am able to support the financial aid for cancer patients at the Blue Mountain Hospital. I would like to thank all the businesses for their generous donations to my raffle baskets, and all the people who bought raffle tick- ets and T-shirts.” Prairie City coach Louanne Zweygardt said the team’s strong passing allowed them to execute their attacks effective- ly. “Both the JV and varsi- ty played very well, serving strong and keeping the intensi- ty up,” the coach said. “Hailee Wall had six aces, and the team as a whole aced at 33 percent and had a 47 percent kill rate.” The Panthers continued their success the following day at the Crane Tournament. Prairie City beat Jordan Valley 25-22 and 25-17 in the semifinals. The Panthers then fell to Crane in the finals. The first two sets were close, Prairie City winning the first 25-22 and Crane winning the second 25-21. Crane won the final set 15-9 for the tour- nament title. “The Crane tournament was a good experience for us, play- ing Jordan Valley for the first time this season, and matching up with Crane again,” the coach said. Prairie City had a 90 percent serving rate against Jordan Val- ley, with strong passing and a 29 percent rate killing the ball. Zweygardt said their pass- ing and serve-receive against Crane wasn’t as successful, but Contributed photo/Emily Kokesh Prairie City Panther Mariah McClung is on the ball against Harper at Friday’s homecoming match at the Prairie City gym. the team played the net well. “Sierra Dahlen had five aces out of 19 serves, and Brianna had 10 kills,” Zweygardt said. “We were pleased with how hard the team worked and are looking forward to meeting Crane again.” Prairie City, Jordan Valley and Crane are in the High Des- ert League; however, the tour- nament games were considered nonleague.
