After an incredible season last year, Midlothian is back and hungrier than ever. The team posted an undefeated 12-0 district record last season to finish at the top of their district standings. Headed into playoffs unscathed, there was no doubting the Panthers as they took on each opponent with confidence. Eventually falling in the regional semifinals to Aledo, the team showed their talents through every single play.
