🏅 Sports Update
The JV Boys Maroon team earned a strong 43–32 win over Allegan, taking the lead in the first quarter and never looking back. The Panthers locked in defensively from start to finish, with every player contributing to a complete team effort. Watervliet hosts Constantine on Wednesday, February 4 at 5:30.
JV Lady Panthers cruised to a 29–6 road win over Allegan. After a slow offensive start, Watervliet used stifling defense to build a 10–3 halftime lead, then made adjustments that sparked the offense in the second half. The Panthers held Allegan to just three points after halftime and pulled away by outscoring the Tigers 19–3 to seal the victory.
Scoring: Berry 8, Brown 6, Yeske 5, Zuniga 4, Rader 4, Weber 2.

When class periods are only 20 minutes long, it’s the perfect time for a creativity challenge. We spun a random word wheel to select four objects that had to be combined into a single drawing. Here’s what it looks like when the chosen words are shark, pizza, ballerina, and cowboy boots.

Watervliet led most of the way, including 36–30 entering the fourth quarter, but fell late. Daijahanae Hatcher led with 22 points, Miranda Lowell added 9, and Aubrey Winnell scored 6. The Panthers are now 6–4 overall and 3–1 in SAC Lakeshore play and travel to Martin on Tuesday for a 7:00 pm tip.
Last Friday night, the JV Lady Panthers defeated the Bangor Vikings at home, 41–28. Watervliet jumped out to a 16–6 first-quarter lead and never looked back, holding a 23–15 advantage at halftime. The Panthers’ relentless defense and fast-break offense fueled an 18–13 second-half run to secure the 13-point win.
Top Scorers: Campbell 10, Berry 9, Kirksey & Rader 6 each, Zuniga & Thomas 3 each (Zuniga – Panther of the Game), Klimkiewicz & Brown 2 each.
The Panther boys wrestled at Kalamazoo Central High School Saturday, finishing 13th in the team standings and bringing him two individuals medals. JT Isbrecht won 5 of his 6 matches and finished in 3rd place while Josh Koch placed 4th, gaining another pin on his season. The guys will be in action again on Wednesday with team duals in South Haven.

INDOOR TRACK RESULTS:
At Grand Valley State University last Saturday, Sam Casiano was the high placer among the Panther entries. Sam ran just off his PR, but it was still good for a season’s best with a time of 4:43.58, which was good for 49th place out of 175.
Sam wrapped up the day for the runners as he also ran the 4x800M Relay. Unfortunately, splits were not available for his race. The team also just missed qualifying for state by 3.9 seconds, luckily there will be other chances in the next few weeks.

🏅 Sports Update
The boys wrestling team was in Battle Creek last Saturday, participating in the All City team tournament at BC Central. As a team the Panthers went 1-4, defeating Benton Harbor but falling to Comstock, Bangor, BC Central, and BC Lakeview. JT Isbrecht was undefeated on the day, pinning two of his opponents, winning by tech fall (17-1), and winning his final match 11-7. Josh Koch won two matches, both by pins, and Donald Milham earned his first victory of the season, pinning his Comstock opponent in the 2nd period. Both the boys and girls will next hit the mats at Kalamazoo Central High School next weekend for the Ron Russo Classic.
The Varsity Girls Basketball team remained undefeated in SAC Lakeshore play with a 37-18 road win at Coloma on Friday night. After a close first quarter, Watervliet’s defense took over, holding the Comets to just 11 points the rest of the game while building leads of 20-9 at halftime and 28-13 after three. Isabella Bultema led the Panthers with 11 points, followed by Marissa Lowell with 7. Watervliet improves to 6-2 overall and 3-0 in the division and returns to action Tuesday at Constantine, with tip-off set for 7:00 pm.

Pledge of Allegiance
At this time, please stand. The privilege of this day was made possible by those who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms we enjoy. Please place your right hand over your heart and remove your hat if you are wearing one.
“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. Have an excellent day, Panthers — the choice is yours! 🐾
¡Buenos días, Panthers de Watervliet High School! 🐾
Mi nombre es Giovanni Ayala y soy su lector de anuncios del martes por la mañana.
