A heart wrenching loss for our Lufkin Panthers on Saturday, as they fell in Waco to the Plano West Wolves by a final score of 55-52.

The "Pack" should feel proud of all of their achievements this year showcasing another incredible season.

It's hard to lose, especially while trying to advance to the state championship, but  these young men will shake it off like the champs they are.  For some Seniors the next stop is becoming a college Freshman, and along with that, the challenges of participating in an advance cycle of gridiron potency.

The underclassmen will return to the field for the 2013 campaign fighting mad, and again we can all be looking forward to another run at the gold.

To all the players, coaches, staff, student body, volunteers, parents, teachers, and administrators, congratulations on a season of success, as this is no time to lament on "what could have been".

You are all WINNERS!
