Portal Panther Head Coach Jason McEachin is hoping to get his team back to the playoffs after missing the postseason in 2024. The Panthers won their first region title in school history in 2023, going 7-3 in the regular season before falling in the second round of the playoffs. Last season saw the Panthers struggle, going 4-6 on the campaign, but McEachin thinks the combination of the success of two years ago and the disappointment of last season will set Portal up for a successful return in 2025. “Our expectations are to get back to the playoffs,” he said.
