Let’s pack the stands and show our appreciation to Western Bank while cheering on our Panthers!
This decision comes after reviewing our roster numbers at each level and considering player safety, coaching capacity, and the overall quality of the experience we can provide. With our current numbers, adding a C-Team would stretch players and coaches too thin and negatively impact all levels.
What this means for our athletes:
Players who would have been on C-Team will still be part of the Panther Boys Basketball program.
They will practice with the appropriate group (JV/Varsity pods, based on grade and readiness).
Coaches will focus on skill development, effort, and readiness for game opportunities at the JV level when appropriate.
We know this may be disappointing for some families, and this decision was not made lightly. We will continue to monitor participation and revisit a C-Team in future seasons if numbers allow.
If you have questions about how this affects your student-athlete, please reach out:
