We ask Panther Nation to be praying for these families and the Saluda community right now. We are rivals on the field but no one should be without our prayers and support during tough times. Lord cover the families now with your love.
40 straight home, 34 games in a row, 23 straight playoff wins, 4 Region Titles & 4 State Championships in a row. 6 State Titles this decade. As much as it hurts this morning, our players and coaches have set a huge bar. Proud of their hard work this season. Back to work for 2020
It’s a bittersweet day for Panther Nation. Coach Tad Dubose has been named the new Head Coach for Emerald High School. Although he’ll be missed we’re excited for his new opportunity to lead the Vikings. Thank you Coach Dubose for all the countless hours & your leadership

It’s with heavy hearts that we share tonight about the passing of Scott Sutherland aka Red Dog. He was a long time chain crew member for us as well as a long time official in the Lakelands and the State. Prayers for his family. Huge loss for our community. We love you Dog.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Coach Jamie Nickles’ family today. His mom Linda passed away peacefully late last night. She was an awesome lady and she will definitely be missed.
With this win Coach Jamie Nickles has become the all time winningest Coach in Abbeville School history. 149th win in the books. An emotional finish to the week for Coach Nick. Congrats Coach Nick.
Having said that let’s get behind Tiger nation and support
@SaludaFootball
this week. Enjoy the time. It’s the best prep week you can have. We need to keep the State Title in the upstate and with the best Region.
The 7th State Championship for Coach Jamie Nickles ties him with Jackie Hayes and puts him one behind John McKissick and Willie Varner(8) Pretty elite company.
