WELLSTON — Three sets into a Division VI district championship match, Southeastern was staring down the possibility of its season coming to an end. The Panthers had fallen into a 2-1 hole and were just one loss from elimination. But in that moment of desperation, head coach Brittany Lougheed found out just how gutsy her group could be. After forcing a fifth set with a decisive 10-point win in the fourth, Southeastern battled to extend its season with a 15-25, 25-20, 24-26, 25-15, 15-11 victory. “I think it says a lot about their character,” Lougheed said. “It would've been easy to get discouraged, hang their heads, and let (the first three sets) define the rest of the match, but they chose to fight for one another.

Today, they showed exactly what they're capable of when they believe in each other and refuse to quit.” HS VOLLEYBALL: Zane Trace looks dominant in district title sweep of Portsmouth West The Panthers (19-6) looked antsy in the first set, allowing the moment to get the better of them. And to make matters worse, after dropping the first, they dug a 7-0 hole in the second. But
