Outlook: For the first time since 2007, there was a new Class 1A state champion. Pahranagat Valley’s record 104-game winning streak was snapped by Spring Mountain in the Class 1A state championship game last fall.

But the Panthers return a stable of lettermen, including tight end Culen Highbe.

“We look to build on the success of previous years and get better every day in our fundamentals and footwork,” Hansen said. “We hope to compete in the league and reach our potential as a team.”
