BENTON: Panthers boast depth in 6A West

Conference: 6A West

Coach: Brad Harris

’17 Record: 7-5

 

The Benton Panthers struggled to stay healthy in 2017, but still managed to make it back to the playoffs and into the second round.

“We had over 30 guys miss at least one game last season due to injuries,” Coach Brad Harris said. “Twelve players that were in our two-deep roster were injured going into Week 10. The one thing our team continued to do was have the ‘next man up’ mentality and compete every week.”
