2016-17 Palo Verde Flag Football Capsule Preview

Head coach: Rick Eurich, third season

2015-16 record: 14-7 (3-3 Southwest, second)

Returning letter winners (starters): Eleven (five)

Outlook: Five starters return for the Panthers, who advanced to the Sunset Region final last year.

“We lost some key players from last year’s unit,” Eurich said. “However, we have some young talent who have been waiting for their opportunity to make a difference at the varsity level.”
