Three senior members of the PHS volleyball team competed the weekend before Thanksgiving in the Bird Cage Classic All-Star game hosted by Warrensburg-Latham High School. The Pana players were chosen by area coaches and represented the South Team at the contest. Representing Pana were Kennedy Bowker, Reagan McGlauchlen, and Katie Vaughn.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the high school volleyball and football teams raised money for the Pana Community Hospital's Breast Cancer Services Department. Donations were taken at the door to the Pana vs. Greenville volleyball match and at the gate for the Pana vs. North Mac football game. T-shirts were sold for each of the games and the proceeds went directly to the donations for PCH. Pictured with members from the Pana Community Hospital are senior members of the volleyball and football teams. The teams raised $1,205.00 with the help of the community.
