2018 Spring Team Preview: Delta Panthers

Team Name: Delta Panthers
Head Coach: Damon Mattimore
Division: III
2017 Record: 16-13
Conference Record: 3-4

2018 Team Strengths:

Experience
Competitive Group

Coach Outlook: "This team showed good signs last summer during our Acme season and in the State Acme Tourney, as we won our first Summer acme Sectional Title in 7 years. We are committed to never be satisfied and to work together as a TEAM."

PBR Outlook: Delta and coach Mattimore have an experience group back and should be competitive all year in the difficult NWOAL. With Gabe Freeman and Jason Beverly leading the way, the Panthers should be a team to watch in Division III.
