🏆 Sports & Activities Update
Soccer
Varsity girls soccer played a strong first half against Saugatuck, with Alex Zuniga shining in midfield and Ella Isbrecht making key saves. Fatigue in the second half allowed Saugatuck to pull away. The Panthers host South Haven next Monday.
Track
The Lady Panthers closed out dual meets in cold, wet conditions at Gobles, turning in strong performances. Gia Berry (shot put) and Brianna Zwar (300 hurdles) earned first-place finishes, while multiple athletes set PRs, including Daniella Romero (1600), Marissa Lowell (3200), and several in the throws.

🇺🇸 Pledge of Allegiance
Please stand. This day was made possible by those who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms that we enjoy. Let us honor and respect their efforts by standing, removing our hats, placing our hands on our hearts and reciting the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
Those are all of our announcements for today. Make it a great day or not, Panthers! The choice is yours.
