Tonight, Hancock High School girls’ volleyball team will host the Forbes Road Cardinals of Waterfall, Pa. for the Lady Panthers’ first match of the 2026-2027 season.
Tipoff is at 6 p.m. at Hancock High School.
“Our program has really grown in the last few years. This season is going to be very exciting,” said Christi Mosier, Head Coach of the Lady Panthers volleyball program, in an email to The Hancock News. 
“With the news that the football team will not be having a season, we are going to be hosting the homecoming game this year on Monday, October 12 against Berkeley Springs,” Coach Mosier said.
Under Mosier’s leadership over the past few seasons, the Lady Panthers have been building momentum as a cohesive team.
Earning some big wins last season, the Lady Panthers are back, and on the prowl to up the ante this year.
Seniors returning to the court for the Lady Panthers are Taylor Weller, Maya Shoemaker, Azalee Souders, Kaybree Souders, Nikole Hoffman, Kerrie Martinez, and Nyla Spielman.
Juniors Madison Booth, Sarah Smith, Payton McMahon, and Makenzie Boyer round out the varsity squad.
