       Jemison completed the 2017 season with a 5-6 record. With their 2-4 region record and a fourth place finish in Class 5A region three, the Panthers earned a spot in the playoffs in 2017. Jemison's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Vigor by a score of 55-7.

       The Panthers are led by head coach Van Clements who is entering his fourth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 10-21 over the past three seasons at Jemison. Under his direction the Panthers have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Clements.
