Alright, alright, alright, it's time to run the annual Puma Prowl! Powell is holding the 22nd annual Prowl next Tuesday, Oct 8th at 4 pm. What better way to get a good workout in, be social with friends, win some great prizes in the student raffle and be a part of this fun community event.

Your 8th grade volleyball players once again represented Powell well on Thursday afternoon. The A girls put on an absolute clinic. They had some of the best sets of the season as many of the A girls had impressive attacks as a result of the pretty sets. But it was the impressive serves from Kylee C, Rowan H, Ellen M and Megan B that carried the team to victory. Your Pumas won by a score 21-8 and 21-8. Holding a team to less than double digit points in both games is not done very often at all - well done girls. Thus the A girls earned the right to play for the championship on Saturday.
The B girls came out strong as they passed well and had consistent serves. This combination was deadly when combined with the deep serves from Juliet S and Elyssa J that helped carry the team to victory in the 1st game. And honestly it wasn't even close as they won 21-6. The second game was a different story as the Pumas struggled with their serve. Goddard also stepped up and they passed so much better this game which kept the pressure on the Pumas. The girls would not give in and they continued to have good passes that allowed for many overhand swings. Scarlett R was the leader in that category as she had so many overhand hits that we couldn't keep up with all of the. But none of those over hand attacks could have been possible without the great sets from Piper P, Priscilla C and Emma L.
