For the third-straight year the Lions and Panthers met on the gridiron. And for the third-straight year, it was a close contest. However, much to the disappointment of the Tyler High Lions, the Midlothian Panthers came out on top once again, this time in the playoffs. Midlothian, using a relentless rushing attack and key pass completions, scored a 42-35 win over Tyler in a Class 5A Division I bi-district playoff game on a chilly Friday night at CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Rose Stadium. The Panthers (7-4), the third-place team from District 8-5A, advance to meet Highland Park (9-2), a 42-17 winner over McKinney North, next week in the area round. The Lions, the co-District 8-5A champion and No. 2 seed from the league, end their season at 8-3. The Lions and Panthers were in the same district the previous two years with Midlothian winning in 2024 (42-28) and 2025 (49-43).

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

One friend is rich, one is broke, and everyone ordered differently. How do you split dinner?

A group of longtime friends traditionally divides restaurant bills equally. Their incomes have grown increasingly unequal, and one friend now declines gatherings because even their share is difficult to afford while others order without thinking about price.

When should friendship adjust for differences in wealth?
