Friday was also our green out/Team Dillon day in honor of RHS freshman Dillon Porter. The RHS gym was packed Friday night by not only Panther fans, but Cougar fans as well to honor this young man as he continues his battle with Lymphoma. There were several events and items raffled off on Friday night with proceedings benefiting the Porter family. We would like to thank all of the Panther and Cougar fans who came out to support this family.
Congratulations to the Lady Panthers on two more victories this week, as well. The Lady Panthers defeated the Lady Raiders of Warren East in overtime on Monday and pulled out another win at Dawson Springs Saturday. We are very proud of the progress being made by this young team and the new coaching staff led by Coach Calvin Head.
