Putnam County Food Pantry distributes Christmas baskets Dec. 13

Donations needed to support families this holiday season

For the 38th consecutive year, the Putnam County Food Pantry is teaming up with Toys in the Pantry, local organizations, businesses, churches and

schools to deliver Christmas baskets to families struggling this holiday season.

The baskets, packed with food and gifts for children and seniors, include everything needed for a festive Christmas dinner, breakfast and even pizza for Christmas Eve. Distribution is scheduled for Saturday morning, Dec. 13.

The Food Pantry continues to seek donations to support the project. Items such as coffee, hot chocolate, canned fruit, Jell-O, easy-to-prepare meals, drinks and personal care products are

especially needed. A $75 cash donation covers the cost of food for one average-sized family.

Donations can be mailed to Putnam County Food Pantry, Box 96, Granville, or dropped off at Granville National Bank and other county banks. Food donations also may be left directly at the Food Pantry.

The pantry board thanked the community for the support, saying they have been tremendously supportive of the ongoing work of the Food Pantry and the Christmas Basket Project.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: PUTNAM COUNTY SEASON PREVIEW

Rebecca Pyszka takes over PC girls basketball team

Panthers have young roster with just one senior

For the first time in more than a decade, there will be a new head coach on the sideline leading the Putnam County girls basketball team.

Rebecca Pyszka takes over the Lady Panthers from Jared Sale, who became the Putnam County boys coach after earning the most girls basketball coaching wins in school history with a 141-143 record in 10 seasons.

“Basketball has always been my favorite sport and I’ve been playing or coaching it for most of my life,” Pyszka said. “Growing up in Spring Valley, whenever we played Putnam County, we knew it was going to be a good, hardfought game, so I’m looking forward to continuing that tradition of competition. I also am very excited with this group of girls to help them succeed on and off the court.”

Offensively, Pyszka said she likes to “have the girls in a half-court set but then have many options off that set.”

However, Pyszka also said the Lady Panthers are quick and will be “looking to try to score as many transition baskets as possible.”

Addy Leatherman will be one of the Lady Panthers’ top offensive weapons with her outside shooting ability. As the lone senior, she’ll be counted on to lead the 11-player roster.

“She lends experience offensively and defensively to lead the charge,” Pyszka said.

Juniors Kaylynn Hill and Chloe Parcher will provide offense in the post.

“They play tough down low, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do come game time,” Pyszka said.

Junior Emberlyn Cwikla is a threat on the perimeter, junior Cadence Breckenidge is a post player with a “nice mid-range shot,” and sophomores Piper Terando, Sofia Borri and Aurora Bickerman will contribute as well.

“I’m expecting both inside and outside threats for scoring,” Pyszka said. “The girls have great ball movement, which leaves people open while the defense is transitioning. They’ve been able to get shots off quicker as we’ve been practicing.”

Defensively, Putnam County will continue to use a 2-3 zone but also will use man-to-man defense to mix things up.

“They play tough defense,” Pyszka said. “We are working on rotations and making sure we are in the correct posi-

tions for help-side defense. But they want to get stops, steals and blocks, so I’m looking forward to seeing how the defense progresses throughout the season.”

Sophomores Maddy Magnuson and Lilly Brechenridge and freshman Bella Gibson also will see some time for the Panthers, who were 7-24 last year.

“The biggest strength (of the team) is how well they get along,” Pyszka said. “This allows them to communicate well on the court, cheer each other on and make each other better every

day. … They play tough, which with low numbers could become our biggest strength.”

Pyszka said the Lady Panthers look to be competitive in every game.

The Lady Panthers will open the season at the Princeton Holiday Tournament. After games on Monday vs. Midland and Princeton on Tuesday, the Lady Panthers will face Henry at 5 p.m. Thursday.

The tournament finals will be contested on Saturday, beginning at 1:30 p.m. with the title game at 6 p.m.
