“Your son only gets one high school football experience—make the most of it. Being an active, engaged Booster Club member not only enhances your family's journey but also strengthens the entire program. The most successful football programs thrive on dedicated parents who show up, support, and make a difference.”

- Doug Wendel

We Need You!

As we gear up for another exciting season, the Midlothian Panther Football Booster Club is looking for dedicated parent volunteers to fill three key board positions:

Vice President – Supports the President and helps oversee booster operations.
Spirit Director – Leads team spirit initiatives and manages spirit wear sales.
Secretary – Keeps meeting notes and assists with communications.

Our program thrives because of the dedication of our players, coaches, and—most importantly—our amazing Panther parents! Volunteering on the Booster Board is a great way to stay involved, support our athletes, and help continue the Panther Football legacy. Plus, you'll build lasting friendships and be part of something truly special!

WHY DO WE DO IT?

“Having the privilege of three athletes benefiting from the program, I really wanted to be more involved and give back to a program that has been such a big part of our lives.”

— Jimmy Day, President 2024 Season, Vice President 2023 Season (Dad to James Day #15 c/o 2024, Kayden Day #6 c/o 2026, and Paxton c/o 2026)

“Football creates team players. Panther Football creates men. There is no better organization to be part of for me and my family.”

— Brad Kemp, Director of Commerce 2024 & 2025 Seasons (Father of Carson Kemp #17, varsity)

“Having two sons go through the Panther Football program, I've seen firsthand the brotherhood that this team builds—one that extends far beyond the field. I’m incredibly grateful for the life lessons my boys have learned through this program: discipline, resilience, teamwork, and heart. Serving on the Booster Club Board has given me a unique perspective and allowed me to support not just my sons, but so many of these boys who have become family. I love them as my own, and being ‘Momma Pope’ to this team is one of the greatest honors of my life.”

— Kristen Pope Lange, Treasurer 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025 Seasons (Mom to Jared Pope #23 varsity c/o 2026, and Jackson Pope #18 c/o 2024)

“I am a booster board member to encourage our players and be involved in the community. Also, helping the program raise money helps enhance the experience for our players. I want to support my son in what he’s passionate about, which is football. Go Panthers!”

— Jennifer Smith, Spirit Director 2024 (Mom to varsity #64 Courtney Olivera c/o 2025)
