Outlook: Panthers coach Darrell Barbay has sixteen players back from a team that went 2-8 last year. Sophomore Cody Johnson should start at QB with Robert Boykins a strong candidate to get carries. Braxton Mayes is a top WR. The team's greatest strength may be in the trenches where Henry Sanders, Alfredo Rodriguez, Zach Sanders and Zach Dequeant lead the offensive line. On the defensive front Mitchell Douget, Hunter Ullrich and Thomas Broussard are talented and ready to go. Deior McNeil, Jacob Pesina, Ashton Guillory and Blake Sanders are tough at LB. A lot of talent is present but there are no easy games in this district.
