The Panthers finished last season fourth in their district with a record of 5-5.
With head coach Clark being the fifth head coach in four years, the Midlothian
football program has certainly had its ups and downs. The roster last season
topped out at 40 players, with exactly half of them being seniors. This year
there are 54 players on the roster with 35 being seniors. Coach Clark expects to
be in the play-offs this year with a record of 8-2 or better.
He likes what he sees in the back line and is working to develop his front line
with the talent of a starting quarterback already committed to the University of
Tennessee and a First Team All District offensive lineman.
The Panthers open their season Aug. 30 at 1 p.m. against Boerne.
