Outlook

The Panthers, ranked sixth in the class and 17th overall in the state by MaxPreps, are playing in the state semifinal for the third straight season and ar trying to reach the final for the first time. Since a one-point overtime loss to Palm Beach Benjamin two months ago, Plant has been on a roll, winning 10 straight games. In the playoffs, the Panthers have been even more dominant, outscoring their last three opponents by a combined 70-17. That offense, which has averaged 17 goals per game, will be tested against the undefeated Rams, who are ranked first in the class and state and third nationally by MaxPreps. Lake Mary is allowing just under four goals per game.
