NOVEMBER 28th- Permian’s 2025 postseason run came to an end with a 56-13 loss to the No. 2 ranked Allen Eagles in the regional semifinals of the Class 6A Division I playoffs at Shotwell Stadium.
Permian’s season ended at 11-2 while Allen improved to 13-0. The Eagles move on to take on North Crowley in the Region I finals.
Permian hung in the game early, trailing 7-0 after the first quarter. A swarming defense by the Eagles kept the Panthers from establishing any rhythm on offense.
Allen began the second quarter with a touchdown run, giving the Eagles a 14-0 lead with 11:56 left in the second quarter.
By halftime, the Panthers were down 35-0 after a pair of quick touchdowns by Allen right before the halftime break.
Whatever hope Permian had to get something going in the second half didn’t happen as their opening drive stalled. Allen made it 42-0 a few plays later.
Permian finally got on the board on a 24-yard touchdown run by Cayden Taylor to make the score 42-6 with 5:05 remaining in the third period.
The Eagles answered with another touchdown right as the third quarter was ending to make the score 49-6 Allen.
Allen added one more touchdown in the fourth. The Panthers did not quit, with Jakob Garcia hitting Cason Nabarrette in the corner of the endzone for the final touchdown. The game ended with the Allen Eagles on top 56-13.
Permian ended the 2025 season with an 11-2 record, with an outright District 2-6A championship and their first Area championship since 2014.

PLAYOFF RUN ENDS IN THE THIRD ROUND
NOVEMBER 21st- The Permian Panthers have advanced to the Regional Semifinal round of the Class 6A Division I playoffs by defeating Mansfield Lake Ridge 30-28.
Lake Ridge needed only three plays to get on the board, scoring on a long touchdown pass just 49 seconds into the game. The PAT gave them a 7-0 lead.
The Panthers blocked a 21-yard field goal attempt on the Eagles' next possession, giving Permian the ball at the 15-yard line. But the Panthers could not capitalize and were forced to punt.
Lake Ridge responded with another three-play drive that was capped off with a 15-yard touchdown run, and the Eagles increased their advantage to 14-0 with 3:50 remaining in the first quarter.
Permian finally got on the board with a touchdown run by Gavin Black, making the score 14-7 at the end of the first quarter.
After a defensive stand by the Panthers, Black got another touchdown after a 10-play, 60-yard drive with 7:20 left in the second quarter. The game was tied up at 14-14.
Zephaniah Deleon got an interception on the ensuing Lake Ridge drive, and the Panthers put together a scoring drive capped off by a Cason Nabarrette reception from Jakob Garcia to make the score 21-14 with 4:27 left.
Permian closed out the first half with an Iker Munoz field goal to make it 24-14 as the two teams went into the break.
After receiving the second-half kick, Permian couldn't keep their drive going and were forced to punt. The Eagles put together a sustained drive to get a score, trimming MOJO's lead to 24-21 in the third.
The Permian offense got back on track in the final period, getting another field goal of 22 yards by Munoz to give the Panthers a 27-21 lead with 6:34 remaining.
The Eagles had an answer, scoring quickly on a touchdown drive to retake the lead at 28-27 with 4:14 left to play.
After a good kickoff return to midfield, the Panthers were able to work the ball into field goal range. Munoz drilled his third field goal of the game from 33 yards to give MOJO a 30-28 lead with 2:12 remaining.
With one more chance to regain the lead the Eagles would drive into Permian territory. But with time running out, the Lake Ridge pass downfield was intercepted by Cameron Mattingly, sealing the game for the Panthers.
Jakob Garcia completed 11 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown. Gavin Black led all rushers with 177 yards and two scores. Aaron Navarrette was the leading receiver with four grabss for 55 yards. Iker Munoz was 3-for-3 on field goals. Zephaniah Deleon and Cameron Mattingly had interceptions for the defense.
