Varsity Football Advances

It didn't take long for the Panther Football team to get on the scoreboard against Abiding Savior at the Canal Field on Monday, and once they did, they did not look back. The Panthers posted a 28-0 win over the visiting Bulls. The Panthers advance to the 2nd round at Zion, Anaheim. Dismissal @ 2:40.

LOCAL Football Playoffs

After a trying week, we are set to begin the LOCAL Flag Football Playoffs. Our Varsity will take on Abiding Savior at 3:30 PM today at the Canal Field in the first round. A win would send the Panthers to the second round to face either Zion or Christ, Costa Mesa. That game would be played on Tuesday at the sight of the higher seed. The championship is on Thursday at 3:30 at the sight of the highest seed. Go Panthers!
