2018 Washington Panthers Summer/7on7 plans

June 27th Richwoods 7 on 7

July 14th Princeton 7 on 7

July 21st Panther 7 on 7 Lineman challenge at Washington

Did you know...that Washington head coach Darrell Crouch has led the Panthers to 10 wins or more n 6 seasons (2017/2015/2013/2011/2009 and 2008). Crouch has posted a 108-39 record in 16 seasons at Washington.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2018 Washington Panthers? The Panthers made it to the Class 5A state semifinals last season and came up short against Mid Illini rivals Dunlap. Look for a deeper more experienced Panthers team this season. The roster is also filled with talent and look for Washington to be one of the top ranked teams in the Preseason Class 5A state-wide polls.

Keep an Eye on: Washington senior QB/S Caleb Fisher. Fisher will be a multi-year starter for the Panthers in 2018 and is also a key in running the Washington offense along with being a senior leader in a very senior heavy group this fall.

EDGYTM's Way Too Early Regular Season record prediction for the Washington Panthers? 8-1/7-2
