Landyn Hack, Ashley’s son, was the last player to lead the team’s offense, earning District 2-2A Most Valuable Player and All-State honors as a senior in 2022. When Hack graduated and went to play at West Texas A&M, he handed the reigns to Broxton Robinson.

Robinson has had an impressive start to the 2024 campaign as well, leading the Panthers to an unbeaten record through seven games.
