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.
