CLARKSVILLE PANTHERS
COACH Mitchell Powers 2023 RECORD 0-10, 0-7 5A-West RETURNING STARTERS 8 offense, 8 defense KEY PLAYERS QB Angel Alvarez( Sr., 5-10, 205), RB / LB Ryder Miranda( Sr., 5-10, 205), RB / LB Brack Denton( Sr., 5-10, 160), RB / LB Ba Cho( So., 5-6, 130), OL / DL Bo Davis( Sr., 5-11, 205), OL / DL Ben Holland( Jr., 6-1, 225), OL / DL Cole Frizzell( Jr., 6-2, 320), WR / DB Rylan Melson( So., 6-1, 160), WR / DB Cyprus Tuck( Sr., 5-11, 140), WR / DB Juan Gonzalez( Sr., 5-7, 130), LB / RB Denver Pickartz( Jr., 5-11, 175), DL Trey Turner( Jr., 6-0, 185) NOTABLE First-year Coach Mitchell Powers takes over the program, but he isn’ t lacking any experience with Clarksville. He has been with the Panthers for 10 years and guided the JV team in recent years. … The team is switching to a more balanced approach on offense with spread concepts after running single wing. … After two winless seasons, the Panthers are looking for the first victory since beating Morrilton 35-28 on Nov. 5, 2021. … Alvarez takes over the signal caller position after splitting time there the past two seasons. … Miranda, Denton and Cho project to get carries out of the backfield. … Davis, Holland and Frizzell lead the team on the line. … Melson, Tuck and Gonzalez lead the wide receiver group. … Pickartz leads the defense from his middle linebacker spot. … Turner, a newcomer to the program who played basketball, looks to lock down an edge on the defensive line. … Senior high player count is low, but depth is growing in the program with the most 7th graders out ever this summer. QUOTABLE“ It’ s been a while( since we last won). Wins are hard to come by. We’ ll take any of them. But the biggest thing is rebuilding the culture. It hasn’ t been where it needs to be. Every competitor wants to win football games, but there are ways to win off the field, too. We are working on the big picture and feel the wins will come. Our thing is talking about barriers. Our guys hear from the outside about the tough schedule and that we can’ t compete. Everybody has barriers, but they can’ t be what changes how we do things. It goes back to the culture change.”— Mitchell Powers, Clarksville football coach

Lester took over at quarterback after all-conference quarterback Cameron Vanzant went down with an injury. … Lester passed for over 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns. QUOTABLE“ It’ s the greatest feeling in the world for an old coach like me. It’ s exciting. It’ s fun to watch kids perform and do well, or not do well, and see who reacts in the right way. It’ s just a great treat for me to be out here and be with them.”— Tommy Tice, Farmington football coach
