PROVIDENCE VOLLEYBALL KICKS OFF THEIR DRIVE FOR THREE IN A ROW

While everyone talks about the dominance on The Independence High School football team, one shouldn’t forget about the Volleyball team from Providence High School.  Led by first year varsity head coach Karen Bradbury, the Panthers are aiming for their third consecutive 4A North Carolina State Championship.  With Lauren Swecker (this week’s athlete of the week) and Katie Dennehy leading the Panthers, the team hopes to match its 27-0 record from last season.

The Panthers kicked the season off with a 3 game sweep of a strong Charlotte Catholic team, 25-13, 25-9, 25-15. 

Coach Bradbury came away pleased with the effort in her first match after replacing legendary volleyball coach Zoe Bell.  Bell is now the Athletic Director at Providence High School.

“I saw a lot of potential out there today; we still have to tap into all of it.  The season will be a challenge; we have a lot of girls playing new positions, so we have to keep working hard.”

The Panthers will continue to rise above the net and be a tough opponent for all the challengers this season.
