PICKFORD- The Pickford Panthers Were One-Half Away From Winning The Division One, 8-Man State Championship Game Last Year. The Panthers Were Up 20-0 At Halftime, But Would Wind Up Being State Runner Up After Losing 30-28 To Deckerville.
The Panthers Lose Several Key Players From Last Year’s High-Powered Team, including four all-state players, but as with previous years, 22-year head coach Josh Rader reloads.
Rader has a solid returning crew, including Gunnar Bennin at QB, who had 30 touchdowns as a running back Last Year. That, Combined With A JV Team That Went 9-0 Last Year, Has His Eyes On Another Playoff Run To The Superior Dome.
