GC Sports | Panthers defeat Dodge County to claim first Area Championship

The Portal Lady Panthers flag football team made history Thursday night, defeating Dodge County 14-0 to capture the 2026 Division 1 Area 4 Championship, the first Area or Region Championship in program history. Despite years of success on the field, the Lady Panthers had never captured an Area Championship until now. Behind a dominant defensive performance that held Dodge County scoreless, Portal secured the historic victory and added another milestone to the program's growing legacy. Head coach Emma Yates expressed her pride in the team's accomplishment and the work that went into reaching this moment. "Winning the first area championship in our program's history means a lot to us!" Yates said. "It is a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and belief that these girls have put into this season. We have worked hard to build this program, and to see that hard work turn into something like this is special." While the Lady Panthers have plenty to celebrate, Yates emphasized that her team still has bigger goals ahead as they prepare for the state playoffs. "Going into state playoffs, our mentality is simple: We can, and we will," Yates said. "We believe in the talent we have, the work

Benedictine senior football players star in final home game with playoff win

The Benedictine football team was already in playoff mode as Coach Danny Britt has preached all year about the second season ― when it's win or go home. But the stakes seemed even higher as BC entered the Class 5A State playoffs as a No. 11 seed, and Cadet seniors realized their first round playoff matchup with visiting Whitewater would probably be the last time they got to play on their home field at Memorial Stadium. The Cadet upperclassmen led the way as Benedictine had a big-time performance to beat Whitewater 35-10 on Friday, Nov. 13. Benedictine improved to 9-2 on the season and will be on the road next week to face Jefferson (9-2) in a second round matchup on Friday, Nov. 20. Mustangs fall Clarke Central football advances, South Effingham comes up short Two stars from BC's senior class set the tone on the first two plays from scrimmage on Friday.
