     A season that included a River Valley Conference North Division championship, a postseason win, and a 19-9 overall record, was celebrated at the Monticello High School Volleyball Awards Banquet Nov. 2 in the MHS Commons.

     The Panthers won the North title for the second year in a row, going 6-0 against division opponents, and won a regional quarterfinal match over Dubuque Wahlert before falling to Independence in a tight semifinal match.

     “I felt like we competed in all our matchups,” head coach Stacie Breitbach said. “Our wins were on the court, but they were also (earned) at practice. I appreciate all the time and effort these girls put in. I’m super proud of all of them.”
