Head coach Blake Feldt confirmed the cancellation of the game with TexasHSFootball on Friday. Feldt also told TexasHSFootball that they would not look to schedule a replacement game. With less than seven weeks before the start of the season, it would have been a difficult task. As a result, the Panthers are scheduled to play just nine regular season games in 2017.
The two teams played last year in Ratliff Stadium with Permian winning that game 55-12.
The matchup with Bishop Timon-St. Jude was supposed to be the school’s homecoming game. Instead, homecoming will be October 20 when the Panthers host Amarillo Tascosa.
