The soccer game for today (8/31/26) versus Meridian at Pana has been cancelled due to heat. Since we do not have lights on our field there is no way we can push the start time past the 6:00 mark to hope for cooler temperatures. We will look to reschedule this game and post any updates when we know something.
PANTHER FOOTBALL FANS:
Friday (9-4-26) the varsity panthers will travel to Vandalia. Vandalia's administration has asked that we share the following with our fans:
"Vandalia will be using square for concessions and admissions for their home games. There will be cash only ticket sales on the visitor entrance side and the home side will be cash, card, or electronic payments such as Apple Pay. Parking for visitors will be in the JH lot."
GO PANTHERS!!

Our high school senior athletes, along with the band and color guard, stopped by Pana Elementary to help kick off the fall sports season!
Our littlest Panthers were SO excited to see the big kids and cheered loud and proud as they welcomed our high school athletes back to another season. There’s nothing quite like Panther pride across all ages!
We’re wishing all of our Pana Panthers the best of luck this fall! Go Panthers! 🧡💙🐾
