Season Outlook: DeWitt continued their streak of playoff qualifications, however they are now on a two year streak of not getting out of their district in the playoffs. That is something coach Zimmerman and the 2016 Panthers squad want to change this year. A tough opening schedule with two big road games will tell us a lot about Dewitt early. Their only regular season loss last year came at the hands of U.P. power Menominee who has to come down to mid-Michigan this year. It's a stacked schedule but if anybody has shown they are capable of handling such a schedule, it's DeWitt.
