  Everlit. On a night that began by recognizing the effort and contributions
• 0:21
  of its seniors, Putnam County's volleyball team remained unbeaten in Tri County
• 0:26
  Conference Play Thursday at RM Germano Gymnasium with a twenty five seventeen
• 0:31
  twenty five twenty one victory over Woodland in Granville. The Panthers, 13-350
• 0:37
  Tri-County, honored their eight seniors before the contest began, and they each
• 0:42
  found ways to contribute to the team's victory as Putnam County built
• 0:46
  a large early lead in both sets. I think it was a
• 0:49
  great night for our seniors, Panthers coach Amy Bell said. They've contributed
• 0:53
  so much to the program, and I'm happy the night turned out
• 0:56
  so well for them. They've worked hard and it shows. After playing
• 1:01
  to a five five stalemate in the early going of the first
• 1:04
  set, the Panthers found their rhythm on the serve of outside hitter
• 1:07
  Maya Richardson. The junior recorded two aces and a kill during a
• 1:12
  run of six straight points, while Chloe Parcher added a kill and
• 1:15
  a block as the host pulled in front eleven five. Brittany Trinidad
• 1:20
  registered a trio of kills as the Panthers extended their lead to
• 1:23
  16-8, and an ace by Emberlyn Quickly left the score at 2012
• 1:27
  before a series of unforced errors enabled Woodland 113-04 to cut into
• 1:33
  the deficit. Parcher and Paige Tonioni recorded kills on back-to-back points to
• 1:38
  close the set. Putnam County opened the second set with a 4-1
• 1:42
  lead before the Warriors got two kills and a block from junior
• 1:46
  middle hitter Grace Longmire to tie the score at 5-5. The Panthers
• 1:50
  retook the lead after two straight aces by Avery Grasser. Richardson, Kennedy
• 1:56
  Hillacher, and Sarah Wiesbrock each added an ace, of their own before
• 2:00
  kills by Trinidad and Richardson and a block by Richardson and Hullacker
• 2:04
  left the hosts only four points from victory at 21-10. Woodland made
• 2:09
  its bid to get back into contention with a 10-2 run. Longmire
• 2:12
  provided a kill, an ace and a block in the rally, while
• 2:15
  Bella Bolt served up an ace as well, as the Warriors narrowed
• 2:19
  the gap to 23-20. Putnam County finished the match with kills from
• 2:24
  Richardson and Trinidad. The Panthers were led by Trinidad's seven kills, while
• 2:29
  Richardson totaled five kills, twelve assists, and three of Putnam County's nine
• 2:33
  aces. Wiesbrock finished with a team high twelve digs, and Parcher put
• 2:37
  up four blocks. Our senior Libera Weisbrock does a fabulous job on
• 2:42
  The court, Bell said. Sarah just really takes charge and tries to
• 2:46
  be the calm in chaotic moments. All the seniors contributed, and it
• 2:50
  was fun to watch them all together. Longmire paced the Warriors with
• 2:55
  eight kills, eight digs and three blocks, while Setter Grace Milligan finished
• 2:59
  with seven digs and six assists. Now 5-1 in home matches this
• 3:04
  season, Putnam County prepares to play in the Reed Custer tournament Saturday.
• 3:08
  The Panthers open with matches against Dwight 6-11 and Olympia 13-9. I
• 3:14
  think we're ready to go, Belle said. I think we've talked a
• 3:18
  lot about finishing and how it's super important to get out and
• 3:21
  get after it, keep building on the play before and not dwell
• 3:24
  on mistakes. Hopefully, good things will come.
