107 students from the Pinckneyville Community High School performed down "Mainstreet U.S.A" at the Magic Kingdom on their Disneyworld trip on June 8th.  The band was the largest of the three performing bands that lead the afternoon parade.  The seven day long trip included all of the following  stops:  Magic Kingdom and Performance, EPCOT, Blizzard Beach Water Park, Disney Studios, Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and Disneys Animal Kingdom.

The Lady Panthers delivered to Coach Greg Hale his 19^th regional championship and 896^th career win with a 3-2 victory over Anna-Jonesboro.

With the game tied at 2-2 Kortney Crawford led off the seventh with an infield single. With one out she stole second and advanced to third on a sacrifice fly to right field by Emily Miller. Taylor Cicardi then smashed a grounder that went through A-J’s third baseman allowing Crawford to cruise home.
