Southside becomes the fourth Dallas County school to make the state football playoffs.

The Panthers (6-4) will play top seed Slocomb in first-round action next Friday night.

“It feels amazing, especially with all the adversity we have dealt with this season and being able to overcome all of that and accomplish this goal.’’ Moody said.

Selma, Morgan Academy and Keith also made the state playoffs and will play next week.
