2024 Federal League

That's good news for the Panthers. Perry's defense has fallen off more than their offense has since Wakefield left.

I'd like to see Perry have a bounce-back year (three straight years in last place for both football and basketball has got to be tough to swallow) but that non-conference schedule will make it difficult. They're going to need to beat either STVM or WGH in week 2 or 3 or it could get ugly for them, with Lake and McKinley on tap for weeks 4 and 5.

With a 3-year starter at QB and so much size at WR, perhaps the Panthers need to- dare I say it- throw the ball more in 2024. The Wing-T has generally worked for Perry over the years, but you've got to tailor the offense to the players you have.

So, Ole Wakey would be in charge of stopping the Massillon offense if the two teams should meet in the postseason. Interesting

Valid points! But I think the Panthers could very possibly be 4-0 going into McKinley game.

Outside of Quarterback and some lineman, what does Perry return? Didn’t they lose most of there skill players to either graduation or transfers?

Lost two RB’s, to graduation, but have ample backups. They also return all three receivers. Wolf, Walker and Wilson. The biggest question will be up front on both sides. Not the quantity, which they have, but how much they have improved.
 
Yes, Hartshorn and Ivanic. Unfortunately Basham’s fractured hip kept him out of the wingback position for the entire season, but he did play some WR in the last 3 games. Shame, he was faster than Ivanic.
This year I see Marcellus Harris at RB, along with Caleb Lawhun, junior Roman Alessandro and a couple promising sophomores in Kav Belknap and Jonathan Lemon.

Fed Predictions:
McKinley: 9-1
Hoover: 8-2
Jackson: 7-3
Glenoak: 5-5
Green: 5-5
Perry: 3-7
Lake: 3-7

I do think Lake will take a little step backwards, but I highly doubt they’ll be at 3-7. I’d say 6-4 maybe 5-5 is pretty fair. Streaks will be big on the Oline and stout on the defensive side of the ball. A high octane offense doesn’t seem to be in the cards at least in my opinion.
 
Ryder was the biggest waste of talent in years. The kid had spielman type talent. He had it all speed, quickness, strength, and size. One of the best athlete's the county has seen in years. He could have been special if developed properly.

McKinley is the clear favorite once again, but they've lost one league game each of the past four years. Who is the most likely team to upset the Pups?

Perry, I think they have beat them twice in maybe the last 5 years or so... So I'd say they have to be the odds on favorite, and with Wakefield back helping, I like their chances to find some of that old toughness he brought.

But my gut says GlenOak.

Wakefield back wow! Boys better really buckle up and that is a compliment - great coach!

I also agree - GlenOak has speed to match Pups I think - we'll see eventually
