LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) - The Lufkin Panthers are ready to pounce into the playoffs for the first time under head coach Carl Abseck.

Abseck joined the Red Zone Preview show on Wednesday. Abseck says they’re trying to play their best ball at the end of the year.

“The objective is to get into the dance and then see what happens,” Abseck said. “The goal is to be playing our best at the end of the year and I do feel like we’ve continued to improve...if we continue to grow and improve, then we’re going to have a chance to make some noise.”

Lufkin will make the trip to Houston on Saturday to face Houston Westbury at Butler Stadium.
