The Lady Panther Softball team had a great season, making post-season play and making the tournament in Oxford before bowing out to arch-rival Lineville who eventually went on and made the Final Four in the State Semi-Final round. The team was comprised mostly of Freshman and Sophomores so they should be solid for the next few years and we appear to have a good future in store for all Lady Panther Sports!
