On Friday night, Celina faced off against the undefeated Panther Creek team in a highly anticipated matchup. Both teams were looking to maintain their perfect records in the 4A division.
Celina struck first with a rushing touchdown, but Panther Creek quickly answered, tying the game at 7-7 by the end of the first quarter. However, the second quarter saw Celina take control, scoring three more touchdowns and heading into halftime with a commanding 28-7 lead. Their relentless defense forced multiple turnovers and stifled Panther Creek’s offense, which struggled to find its rhythm.
Celina continued to dominate in the second half, ultimately winning decisively with a final score of 42-7. This victory handed Panther Creek its first loss of the season, dropping them to 4-1, while Celina improved to 5-0.
Looking ahead, Celina will host the Aubrey Chaparrals next week. They are coming off a 35-14 loss to Sulphur Springs. Celina will aim to keep their perfect season alive.
