| For the second year in a row Jimmy Bibles Panthers only placed second, something Brusly, which had won 11 championships in 12 years before the reinvigorated Cavaliers joined the fray. The Panthers had state champions in Austin Franklin, Owen Mabile and Richard Hunter, and runner-up finishes by David Kent, Calep Balcuns and Brandon Young. |
