Despite a tough year filled with injury and strife, the coaches were proud of the young team. "We had a lot of youth on the field this year", stated head coach Jeff Boardman.

I am proud how the seniors kept this team together to fight through adversity and achieve the success that we did."
The Panthers now look to the 2013 season with a large and strong recruiting class. "The foundation the outgoing seniors have built will be a good starting point for next year's team."
