Outlook: Coach Lane modestly states that his Corcoran Panthers should be about the same as last year. The Panthers return fourteen starters, their starting QB and RB and leading players like Faustino Aguilar T/DE, Dustin Pearce T/DE and Jessie Lawler C/DE. The Panthers did lose a number of linemen from last year's team. With a returning tandem that produced 3300 rushing yards and a defensive team with a section high of 33 interceptions, Corcoran should have an exceptional year.
