Hillcrest Football 2026-2027

🏈 Your Support. Their Success. Help Fuel the Future of Hillcrest Football.

At Hillcrest High School, football is about far more than what happens under the Friday night lights.

Our Panthers are student-athletes, teammates, and young men learning what it means to show up, work together, and represent their school and community with pride. Under Head Coach Adrian Madise, Hillcrest Football has earned back-to-back playoff appearances and enters the 2026 season working toward a third consecutive playoff appearance, and the program’s first playoff win since 2006.

There is exciting momentum at Hillcrest, and we want to keep building on it.

Creating a strong, competitive high school football program requires resources throughout the entire season: from safe, quality equipment and practice gear to team travel, nutrition, player development, and the tools our coaches and athletes need to succeed.

That’s where our community and corporate partners make a difference.

🏆 Our $20,000 Panther Drive

This North Texas Giving Day, our goal is to raise $20,000 to strengthen the Hillcrest Football program and provide resources that directly support our student-athletes.

Your donations will help support:

• 🚌 Travel & playoff expenses — $1,500
• 🏈 Safety equipment, including helmets and pads — $4,500
• 👕 Practice gear & player uniforms — $4,000
• 🍎 Team pre/post game meals & recovery resources — $9,000
• 📸 Media equipment (drone w/camera) — $1,000

Every contribution becomes part of something bigger.

A helmet protects an athlete. A team meal fuels him. A bus gets the Panthers to the next field. Practice equipment helps prepare them for game day. Academic support reinforces that success in the classroom matters just as much as success on the scoreboard.

Together, those investments help us build the kind of football program our student-athletes deserve, one centered on preparation, accountability, teamwork, opportunity, and pride.

❤️🖤 Help Us Build What’s Next

Hillcrest Football is building something special. Our Panthers have reached the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, and our goal isn't simply to maintain that momentum.

We want to take the next step.

We want to continue developing our athletes, strengthening our program, competing at a high level, and creating an experience that our players, families, alumni, and community can be proud of.

Whether you give $10, $50, $500, or $5,000, your contribution makes a difference. Individual donors, alumni, local businesses, and corporate partners all have an opportunity to become part of what we're building at Hillcrest.

Invest in the players. Invest in the program. Invest in the future of Hillcrest Football.

🏈 WORK WITH PURPOSE.

Help us reach $20,000 this North Texas Giving Day and keep the Panthers moving forward.
