       The Panthers defense dominated most opponents as they ranked 7th in the AHSAA. The defense gave up just 9.8 points a game.

       Over the past two seasons the Panthers have gone 23-2 and will be looking to continue that winning tradition. Since 2010, Georgiana has gone a combined 49-40. Their 55.0% winning percentage ranks 22nd in Class 1A over the past eight seasons.
