As the saying goes, there’s a first time for everything.
For Paint Branch boys soccer, their hope this season is capturing a Maryland state title for the first time in school history.
The Panthers (13-5) advanced to the Class 4A semifinals after beating Severn Run 3-0 in the quarterfinals last week.
After a three game losing skid in October had the Panthers on shaky ground, they found their footing and won three straight in the playoffs to get to the state semifinals.
Paint Branch is now two wins away from an elusive state championship. The farthest the school has ever gone before was a semi-final appearance back in 2001.
Paint Branch will now face Parkdale in the state semifinals on Nov. 13 at 5 pm at Laurel High School.
