Sixteen consecutive area titles: MHBS soccer hopes to live up to tradition and return to the state's Final Four in Huntsville.

SIXTEEN CONSECUTIVE AREA TITLES!

Coach Daniel Dixon and the Panthers aim for their seventeenth consecutive area soccer title this spring when the team takes the field. Last season the squad posted a 12-5-2 mark (7-1 in the area) before being upset at home in the first round of the state playoffs. Returning a strong nucleus of players, including eight starters, from that team and adding several new members, the team's goals are still as lofty.

 

LADY PANTHERS IN REBUILDING MODE

After losing eight starters off last year's Final-Four squad, Coaches Jeff Butler and Nathan Knox are molding an enthusiastic but inexperienced team as they point to the A-4A area season.

 

PANTHERS PICK UP INITIAL VICTORIES OF 2010

context

MH won two of three games in the East Limestone Tournament during the first weekend of March. They defeated Madison Academy 4-0 and West Limestone 4-3 while losing a 2-3 decision to the hosts. Goals were scored by Evan Fowler, Jan Hardelauf, Alex Stutts, Randall Turner and Dillon Whitten. The Panthers lost starting goal keeper Nick Berryman the first week of the season and also were playing without some of their starters during the first week of competition due to the success of the Panther basketball team.
