Being in the same district as the Ennis Lions and Corsicana Tigers is something that is no easy step towards getting into a playoff spot. However, the Panthers could be in the hunt despite that. The offense line is rather young but the Panthers are much improved in the skill positions with Tyler Hamilton at QB, Beau Champagne at TB. Similar story for the Panthers on defense except youth at the linebacker position and experience everywhere else. Look for the Panthers to be in the hunt for a playoff spot.
