Finishing the regular season with a 7-2 record and qualifying for the playoffs for the third straight season, EP broke new ground on several fronts including their first win over Newman in over 20 years, starting a season 5-0, and appearing in the the top 10 in the 2A poll.
Coach Tyler Whitebread said his squad simply did not play their best against Warrensburg-Latham last Saturday in their 21-12 loss. Unable to get their running game going, several mental mistakes, and a key injury all led to the team’s third consecutive first-round playoff loss in a row.
In this season’s final Panther Points Preview, Whitebread talks about the playoff loss, updates the injury to Caleb Reymer, season highlights, and the big picture for the program.
