Schools move up
volleyball match
HOMETOWN — Marian will host Panther Valley in a Schuylkill League Division II match Wednesday, Oct. 8, instead of Thursday, Oct. 9, the league’s usual night of division matches.
The switch was made to avoid a scheduling conflict with Panther Valley’s home football game against Lehighton on Oct. 9.
Marian and Panther Valley are the top two girls’ volleyball teams in Division II.
