Year in and year out, Derby is the favorite in class 6A. This year is no different. After a 22-19 loss to Gardner Edgerton in the state championship game a season ago, the Panthers have reloaded once again. The Panthers will be led offensively by the University of Tennessee commit, Da’Saahn Brame. Brame is coming off a season where he had 46 catches, 942 yards, and 13 touchdowns. Derby will have some more big playmakers, with sophomore Arieus Finely having 11 touchdowns last year as a freshman. The big Derby offensive line will be anchored by junior Max Robinson, who has blown up over the past few months with offers from Marshall, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah, Iowa State, Arkansas, Auburn, Missouri, Kansas State and Texas A&M. The Panther defense will also be led by seniors, Easton Splane, Martel Jackson and Gavin Pfannestiel.
