Main Story

Permian has secured the District 2-6A playoff field’s top Division I seed and a home bi-district game at Ratliff Stadium, with its head-to-head wins over Midland Lee and Midland High. The Panthers’ bye gives them time to prepare for their finale against San Angelo Central, which could still challenge for a share of the district title. The remaining games will determine the other teams’ seeds and which El Paso opponent awaits.

By the Numbers
  • Permian is 9-0 overall and 3-0 in district play.
  • District 2-6A’s four playoff qualifiers are Permian, Midland Lee, Midland High and San Angelo Central.
  • Eastwood is more than 300 miles from Odessa.
Yes, But

Permian has locked in its division’s top seed, but its likely opponent is unsettled. Franklin and Pebble Hills are in contention for Division I, while Eastlake could alter the bracket if it climbs back into the qualifying group. In Division II, Eastwood is a dangerous opponent for the district runner-up that must travel west.

State of Play
  • Odessa High is eliminated; the other four District 2-6A teams have clinched playoff spots.
  • Permian’s home bi-district game at Ratliff Stadium is secured.
  • The October 30 and November 6 district games will shape the remaining seeds and Division II matchup.
What’s Next

After its bye, Permian hosts San Angelo Central in its district finale. The October 30 and November 6 games will clarify the district’s remaining playoff order, while results in El Paso will help determine Permian’s first-round opponent.

Bottom Line

Permian has already earned the key advantage: its playoff opener will be at home. The final two weeks are about identifying the opponent—and making sure the Panthers are ready when that matchup comes into focus.
