Petal is just one win away from securing its 13th consecutive playoff spot.

Petal could either be a No. 3 or a No. 4 seed in the playoffs, depending on the Pearl versus Brandon game.

If Pearl beats Brandon, then Petal would be the No. 4 seed, but if the results are vice versa, then the Panthers would secure the No. 3 seed.
