PIEDRA VISTA PANTHERS
Head Coach: Jared Howell
2019 Record: 8-4 overall, 2-1 district
2019 Playoffs: First Round (Lost to Goddard, 20-10)
Key Returning Players: Michael Candelaria (2021/RB); Carson Randall (2021/C); Noah Keune (WR/2021)
Review/Preview: The Panthers have to replace a handful of key players from last year's 8-4 squad. The good news: The Panthers return Michael Candelaria (2021) at running back who has several big games and will now take over more carries after the depart of graduating senior Jarrod Mitchell. The 2020 senior group was huge for the Panthers last season and will leave many holes to fill. Carson Randall and Tyler Stock (2021/G) will look to carry to torch for departed OL Benjamin Rasmussen. The biggest question mark comes in the form of quarterback and who will get the nod this coming season. Could this be a rebuild and step back for the Panthers?
