The Southside-Selma Panthers gave their homecoming crowd plenty to cheer about Friday night, delivering a commanding 66-0 victory over the Sumter Central Jaguars at the Panther Stadium.
With the win, Southside improves to a perfect 7-0 on the season and 5-0 in region play for the first time in the school's history.
From the opening kickoff, the Panthers set the tone with explosive offense, stifling defense, and big plays on special teams. The defense was equally dominant, and the Panthers’ front line pressured the Jaguars all night, forcing multiple turnovers and limiting Sumter Central to negative yardage through much of the game.
Homecoming festivities brought out alumni and community supporters in full force, and the Panthers gave them a night to remember. With the crowd roaring and the band playing, Southside showed why they’re a team to watch this postseason.
With three games left in the regular season, Southside will look to maintain their unbeaten streak and secure a top seed heading into the playoffs.
