As expected the Panthers took some lumps, but did seem to improve over the coarse of the season. They'll be looking to build on that with 14 returning starters. Junior QB Karrington Jones (a 1st-Team All-City Section Invitational Division selection) returns to lead the offense. Some of his favorite targets will likely be WRs Jake Becerra and Terrance Montgomery, and TE Allan Diaz. On defense, DB Cody Johnson will be joined by a newcomer at DE, Lonnie Shankling in helping the defense grow. It may take a little while, but you should see some steady growth from this program as it matures, starting with this year.
