After winning its first Sectional Championship in 17 years against Traders Point Christian, the team had a shot at winning its first Regional Championship ever against North Judson-San Pierre.

The Bluejays opened up the game with two touchdowns in the first quarter. The Panthers responded with a touchdown by junior quarterback DJ Gordon in the first minute of the second quarter and an extra point by sophomore kicker Paige Dill, putting the Panthers on the scoreboard. Two touchdown passes by seniors Charlie Perine and Jonathan Harris were nullified by penalties in the first half, resulting in the Panther being down at the half, 27-7. 

The Panthers re-entered the game in the third quarter with a touchdown on a 15-yard pass from Gordon to senior receiver Rod Wheeler, making the score making it 27-13. The Panthers could not stop the Bluejay rushing attack, and the game ended with a 49-13 loss.
