The win over Moline snapped United Township's 47 game Western Big 6 conference losing streak
Biggest Question facing United Township this fall?
Can the Panthers carry over it's spring season success this fall? The United Township Panthers posted a 4-2 record this past spring, and that included 4 straight wins after an 0-2 start and a Week 6 upset win over Sterling to end the season. United Township will need to reload this summer especially on offense as all 11 starters graduated this past spring. Look for a strong 2024 class to get an opportunity to make an immediate contribution at the varsity level this fall and this team will be much improved as the fall season progresses.
Impact Player for United Township?
Keep an eye on senior DE Antwan Hawthorne this fall for the Panthers. Hawthorne, along with senior DE Trent Roberts will be asked to provide leadership on and off the field for a young Panthers team this fall.
Game to Watch this Fall? Week 6 vs Moline
The Panthers upset crosstown rival Moline 49-36 in Week 3 of the spring season. The win over Moline snapped United Township's 47 game Western Big 6 conference losing streak and was the win heard around the state that week. Look for Moline to look to get some payback this season and this will be a great measuring stick game for both programs.
