Great job at halftime Panther Band
Good Evening Panthers
First of all what a great win by the Panthers this evening starting off our season with a home win. I want to address the parents and fans who were upset at the end of the game because they couldn't take pictures inside the stadium with their athletes. I know that is an important moment and I regret that it was taken from you. We had a safety concern and after consulting with APPD we thought the best course of action was to empty the stadium as soon as possible. This is not going to be the normal way we end home games. You will be able to take pictures with your athletes next home game just like in past years. Please remember in APISD the safety of our students and families is our #1 priority and I will never apologize for doing what is best to keep anyone in APISD safe. Thank you for your understanding and let's celebrate an awesome victory by our Panthers.
