Season outlook: Coach Filer returns to the sideline at Panther Valley and says she has a team with very competitive girls and sees a bright future. While every team will offer competition, the Schuylkill League runner-ups are expected to be strong again. Leading the way will be their captains - Morgan Orsulak (last year’s TN/LVHN Player of the Year), Caroline Breslin and JaeLynn Browdy.

Quotable: “I’m very excited. The PVGV (Panther Valley Girls Volleyball) is a family. The tradition here is very competitive and strong. The girls love the court. The girls are amazing and together they’re going to be OK. I’m excited for them, excited for the season, and I think they’re excited too. They just want to get back on the court. These are people that just live on the volleyball court.” - Head Coach Nancy Filer
