Continue ReadingThe Black Panthers of Platte-Geddes went the distance this year as well the the perfect 12-0 season. The offense had many ways to attack and score in the wishbone or wing offense, only scoring less than 34 points in two games all season. The most the defense ever gave up in the 3-2-4 formation was 24, one of two games where they gave up more than 22 points. A lot of their games were lopsided, but they always found a way to win the close ones as well. They will return the core of their team next season.
Players Returning:
RB/LB- Grayson Hanson showed lots of power as a hard runner or good lead blocker. He played snaps at RB or a wing back, TE, and then took snaps in a wildcat formation. Defensively, he was one of the primary run stoppers at LB, he flew around the field as well to make the tackles out in open space.
TE/DE- Caden Foxley was the primary TE to run behind with his quick and low technique off the ball, and he finished till the whistle. Defensively, he held his contain and ran down the ballcarrier before he could break it.
TE/DT- Jackson Olsen was also a good target with a good burst of speed, was tough to bring down on the run with a lot of strength. Defensively, plugged up the middle gaps to stop the run.
