Impact Player for Paxton Buckley Loda:
Senior TE/LB Kayden Snelling (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) is a good sized player and athlete for the Panthers this fall. Snelling will be asked to provide leadership on and off the field thus season for PBL.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Paxton Buckley Loda Panthers:
The Panthers (6-3) made the Class 3A IHSA state football playoff field after posting a 6-3 regular season record. PBL made it to the second round in Class 3A and lost to Tolono Unity to finish the 2021 season. PBL will no question need to reload at several key positions this summer (QB/RB/DL/DB) but this program has a strong history and tradition of finding a way to reload year in and year out. PBL is seeking to make the IHSA state playoffs for an 8th straight season this fall.
