Last season, Palo Verde High School football coach Darwin Rost and his Panthers put the Sunset Region's Northwest Division on the map by capping a perfect 14-0 season with the Summerlin high school's first-ever state football title, thanks in great part to the play of seniors Jarrell Harrison, Marc Evans and Sam King.

This season, things should be a little more challenging, with Cheyenne and Shadow Ridge likely pushing the powerhouse Panthers for first place in the division.
