Notes:
The Panthers were cruising along in pre-district play with a big win over Cedar Hill and then district play began. They finished the season 0-5 in district play. They have a pretty good Junior class coming up. Look for them to fight for that fourth playoff spot with Midland Lee behind Abilene Cooper, Abilene and Midland.
