Outlook: Remember the name Kolton Browning. Last year, he passed for 3,000 yards, rushed for 1,000 yards, and scored 41 times. Those are ridiculous numbers for any district, any league, anywhere. Moving up to 4A, the Panthers should be able to move the ball on offense. Top WRs include Jake Birch, Anthony Hendrix, and Corey Janicke. Dustin Shultz and Brandon Rascoe will handle carries at RB. The offensive line should be solid. The defense will have strength at LB, and Jacob Walker is a standout at Corner. At the very least, a top QB makes things interesting, and if the defense plays decently, the Panthers could surprise people.
