Volleyball Update
TUESDAY RESULTS
The freshman closed out a tight match last night against the Uvalde Lobos winning both sets 25-17, 25-22. The scrappy play of the Lobos created long rallies the entire game but we muscled through it to come out with a win.
Brooke Piper, Maddie Marsh and Peyton (Killer) Keller led the team with 5 aces each.
The JV Panther volleyball team kept their winning streak going on Tuesday evening as they traveled to Uvalde to take on the Lobos. The girls won in two straight sets with dominating scores. Logan Galyon had a great all around game with 3 aces and 9 digs along with 3 kills. Kylie Mutz added 4 aces and 5 kills of her own. The panthers take a break this Friday but will resume district play on Tuesday here at home. Come out and support your girls!!!
The Varsity squad traveled to Uvalde on Tuesday to take on the Lobos. The Lobos were on a mission to stop the panthers with their unruly fans and scrappy play however, the Panthers shut them down early and beat them in three straight sets 25-19, 25-15, 25-18. The panthers defense was lead by Hannah Hurtado with 10 digs and Spencer McCool with 8 while Kyla Solis had 3 blocks. From the service line Hannah Hurtado, Sierra Nehr and Spencer McCool all recorded 2 aces. Kyla Solis led the offense attack with 12 kills while Kamryn Griggs and Meghan Haan both tallied 7. Kamryn Griggs had 19 assists and Madalynn Sanchez had 6. The girls are off Friday but will be back at home on Tuesday taking on Southwest Legacy.

PSAT PARENT ANNOUNCEMENT
PSAT signups will start the week 9/23. Students can come by the Counseling Center to pick up a form to fill out so they are ready and have it done once registration starts. Tests are reserved on a first come first serve basis. The cost is $17 in the form of check or money order.
AP PARENT ANNOUNCEMENT
The AP test registration process has changed this year. For the 2019-2020 school year students will register and pay for their exam by November 1st, but will still take the actual exam in May 2020. Students received information in their AP classes the week of September 23-27 on this new process. Just a few things to note:
All students taking an AP test will have to create a College Board Account and register to their specific class using a unique code. This code will be handed out to them when they receive registration information in class.
All students taking an AP exam will go through the Total Registration website to choose and pay for the test they are taking. If they took an AP test here at MV last school year they already have a Total Registration account.
ALL tests have to be chosen and paid for by November 1st.
Please contact Anneke Tschirhart in the MVHS Counseling Center with any questions or concerns. (anneke.tschirhart@mvisd.org; 830-931-2243 ext. 1169)
