Fresh off of a seventh consecutive playoff appearance, Springboro looks to reload and maintain its high standards. There will be a lot of new faces on the field this fall as the Panthers return just four starters on offense and five from a defense that allowed just 14.8 points per game a year ago.
The program has flourished under head coach Ryan Wilhite. He is confident that the newcomers will step up and meet expectations. More often than not they do. It is what has led to Springboro’s success.
