NorthWood football hopeful for another run to State

 

NAPPANEE, Ind. - Indiana high school football has reached everyone's favorite time of year.

In the Hoosier State, every school gets the opportunity to play postseason football, but even if that weren't the case, the NorthWood Panthers would likely make an appearance most years.

The Panthers are back at the top to begin the 4A Sectionals this weekend, ranked number-one in the Indiana Football Coaches Poll after completing a perfect regular season at 9-0.

Still, after falling one win shy of a state title in 2016, head coach Nate Andrews says his team knows the regular season success won't guarantee anything going forward, especially with a unique challenge of playing Plymouth for the second consecutive week.
