Pete’s Pigskin Preview: Frenship Memorial Panthers
2025: 7-3, outlaw schedule
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - The Frenship Memorial Panthers are approaching their first year in varsity competition. With an outlaw schedule last season, the Panthers finished 7-3, largely against other JV teams. Even without seniors, head coach Jason Richards believes the team has taken the right steps to prepare for District 2-5A D1.
“I’m really proud of our kids because last year, we had freshmen and sophomores, and we treated it like a varsity system. We brought them up for film, we lifted weights, we had meetings, we came in on Saturdays, and so they’re used to the practice style that we’re doing right now and they’re handling it well, and we just got to get better one week at a time,” he said.
Key returners include: QB Trevor Lewis, Austin Alvarado, Luke Bocanegra, David Falez, Ryker Hardy, Hickson Howard, Cannon Mecham, Michael Reyna, Junah Roberts, Alex Sanchez, Nathan Siller, Adan Silva, Dirks Soto, Jack Sparks, and Ben Trevey.
RB Bo Davis, who had played last year for Lubbock High was expected to start for Memorial. Earlier this week, however, he was ruled ineligible to compete on the varsity level.
