Colors: Blue, Gold

Coach: Brandon Gurule (second season)

2017 Overall record: 7-20

2017 District 5-2A record: 2-6

2017 District 5-2A teams: Peñasco Panthers, Escalante Lobos, Mesa Vista Trojans, Mora Rangers, Questa Wildcats.

2018 District 5-2A teams: Peñasco Panthers, Escalante Lobos, Mesa Vista Trojans, Mora Rangers, Questa Wildcats, Coronado Leopards.

(The only change in District 5 of Class AA with the re-districting is the addition of the Coronado Leopards.)

Peñasco Panthers roster:

Juaquine Fernandez, senior; Isaiah Padilla, junior; Dominic Lopez, junior; Dominic Rael, junior; Curtis Roque, junior; Danny Esquibel, junior; Jude Encinias, sophomore; Donovan Mascarenas, sophomore; David Lucero, sophomore; Angelo Sanchez, sophomore; Elijah Lucero, freshman.

2018 Outlook:

The Peñasco Panthers will be guided by head coach Brandon Gurule, who starts his second season with a maturing cohort of juniors. The addition of Coronado to the district gives the Panthers one more team to beat this season, which they did last year, 67-46. Peñasco fans might observe that after the home game Dec. 8, there isn't another for a whole month (until Jan. 8). The Panthers would certainly appreciate support on the road in the interim.
