MISD dominates James Smith Invitational

The grounds of MISD Multipurpose Stadium proved to be a showcase for both the Midlothian and Heritage boys’ and girls’ cross country teams, as each claimed a team championship at the annual James Smith Invitational on Thursday, Aug. 28.

Lady Panthers fall just short in upset bid

After a break-even weekend in the Grapevine-Colleyville Heritage Classic, the Midlothian Lady Panthers returned to the friendly confines of MHS Arena on Tuesday night and got involved in a marathon five-set battle with Class 6A No. 2-ranked Mansfield High before finally dropping a 16-25, 25-22, 25-11, 32-34, 20-18 decision.

Stephenville too stout in Jags' debut

The Heritage Jaguars have developed an annual rivalry with Stephenville over the last few years, but on Friday night the visiting Yellow Jackets brought to Don Floyd Field at MISD Multipurpose Stadium a squad that could challenge for another state championship in its division. Jackets quarterback Trot Jordan passed for 195 yards and three touchdowns — including a 55-yard flea flicker on their first play — and the Jaguars could get very little going on offense against a stout Stephenville defense in a 28-7 loss to open the 2025 season for both teams.
