The Future Lady Panthers recently stepped up their "off time" this summer by going to a camp and tournament at UCLA. For the past two years, the FLP went to University of Montana for summer camp. Coach Jason Blankenship was nervous this year sending his team to southern California, but UCLA assured him that his team would do well. They won four out of their five games. "And we definitely outplayed that last team," Blankenship said. In their last game, they lost by only three points, going 2-14 from the foul line.
