Derby Panthers Hire New Wide Receivers Coach
The Derby Panthers have announced the hiring of Ryan Thompson as their new wide receivers coach ahead of the upcoming season. The program, which competes in Class 6A, finished last season with a 7-4 record. Thompson's addition is expected to bolster the Panthers' passing game, which was led by quarterback Tyler Johnson last season. Johnson is a key returnee, and with Thompson's expertise, the Panthers are looking to improve their aerial attack. The hiring is also seen as a positive development for the program's recruiting efforts, as it signals a commitment to player development and skill-building. The Panthers will begin preseason camp in late August, and Thompson will be an integral part of the coaching staff as they prepare for the upcoming season.
