Notes:
The Panthers have gone to the semifinals in 2008 and the quarterfinals in 2009. They should win their district but making it to the quarterfinals will be a longshot. There first playoff game will be against a very tough 14-2A DI that includes Rice Consolidated, Industrial and Edna. Expect the Panthers to go 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and if they don't draw a tough first round playoff opponent, could make it three or four rounds deep.
