Ward’s wife, Colleen, passed away last week. As a show of love Ward’s players wore headbands. The headbands read in memory of Colleen Ward. With their angel above them the Lady Panthers took to the floor to open the 2009-10 season. In a game that looked like it was their first, the Foyil girls team scratched and clawed to a 47-43 overtime win over South Coffeyville. The Lady Panthers, who won only two games last year, battled poor shooting and turnovers to get the win. They shot 17-41 from the field and committed 30 turnovers during the game. “This group works their tails of to get better,” head coach Brad Jordan said. “The have great attitudes and they want to get better,” he added. The Lady Panthers were down six at the half. And didn’t see their first lead until the 5:52 mark of the third quarter at 29-27. The fourth quarter was a see saw battle with the lead changing back and fourth. Foyil found themselves down quickly. As the Lady Lions scored first in overtime. The biggest lead the Lady Lions could muster was two points. But with 38 seconds to go Brittany Snyder took control. Her two pointer tied the score at 52 apiece. With just 17 seconds left she scored again to give the Lady Panthers a 54-52 lead. Snyder then added two free throws with just seconds on the clock to give Foyil a 58-53 win.
