January 24th, 2024 by Asa Lucas

The Iowa State women take a 6-1 Big 12 record on the road to Kansas this evening. Because Saturday’s home game against TCU was cancelled coach Bill Fennelly’s team has had a week.

For Panorama Girl’s Basketball, this year is about the Legacy

Sports

January 24th, 2024 by Asa Lucas

The (16-0) Panorama Girl’s basketball team is having one of the best seasons throughout the state of Iowa with a perfect record through 16 games and ranked at number two in Class 2A. The Panthers last matchup was Tuesday night where they handled Madrid 62-29. Seniors Tyme Boettcher and Jaidyn Sellers had an impressive night scoring 39 between them. When asked about her team’s dominance and what propels them to play at such a high level consistently. Head Coach Kylee Boettcher acknowledged the history between the five senior starters and how that’s shaped this Panorama team into a mature and cohesive unit.

A unique factor that contributes to this year’s success is the designated nicknames and roles given to each player.

Senior Mia Waddle who leads the team in assists at 66 is not the only one impacting the game for Panorama. Tyme Boettcher is the leading scorer with over 19 points per game average. Close behind her in scoring and nearly averaging a double-double on the year is Jaidyn Sellers. Sellers sits at 14 points and 8.5 rebounds a game, all while leading the team in blocks with 49 so far.

To stay locked in for 16 straight games and not ease up on your opponents it takes focus and perspective. The maturity and perspective that this Panther squad carries with them is one that impresses Coach Boettcher. This year’s Panorama squad is looking to leave a legacy for themselves and their school.

Thursday’s game against Exira-EHK will be a good test for the Panther’s legacy. The (10-4) Spartans are coming off a 49-22 loss to Coon Rapids-Bayard, but Coach Boettcher knows an Exira-EHK team led by longtime coach Tom Petersen is never one to take lightly.

Tip-off is set for 6:00pm in Exira-EHK High School.
