Kevin Hoffman resigns at Mart, after years of brilliant success, including a 3 year run of State Championships in 2017-18-19. Mart also qualified for the State Final in 2020, 2022, & 2023. Until this season, the Panthers had won 28 straight playoff games in their Region. Hoffman's record in 10 seasons at Mart was 130-16-0. Two games that were unusual this season were the close of the regular season, a 46-0 loss at Goldthwaite, the only District loss Mart had since Hoffman's initial season in 2015, in which they lost to eventual state semi-finalist, Crawford, 21-0. Mart's final game this season was an Area round loss to a District runner-up, Overton, 31-30; the Panthers' first loss before the Semifinal round since 2016. That's one hell of a run and a dramatic drop-off in a season in which Mart returned 8 starters on both sides of the ball from a State Finalist squad in 2023.
