DeWitt, MI (9-25-2016:) It is Haslett week. Usually the Panthers would get ready for Haslett's full T offense by having the scout team backs carry a piece of paper to simulate the ball and make sure the defense "tackled every one". Coach Otlewski is adding to his playbook and one never knows what to expect.

Friday night, the Haslett Vikings come to DeWitt's Memorial Stadium for a 7:00pm contest. No matter what the records of the teams, this game is always emotional, hard hitting and played with great intensity. The two teams know each other and is a big game on the schedule for both schools.

Through the years, the two teams have played some pretty awesome games in front of some of the largest crowds each school has seen.

Ann Arbor, MI (3-12-2016): DeWittFootball.org would like to congratulate Panther Coach Rob Zimmerman on his induction into the Michigan High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame at ceremonies at Chrysler Arena. Rob, along with thirteen other outstanding coaches, were inducted into the Hall Saturday, March 12. Rob's good friend, Noel Dean of Lowell, was also inducted.

His record (168-37) and accomplishments are excellent at DeWitt, Since Rob's first year at DeWitt in 1999, his teams have missed the playoffs only once, have won 13 of 16 conference championships as well as the last 10 in a row and four appearances in the MHSAA State Finals. Ten of his teams have been named Academic All-State. Nine of his players have been selected for the High School All-Star games and he himself selected as the West Head Coach in 2009. Over four dozen players have move into the college ranks. A number of his players have stepped into the coaching ranks including several currently on his staff; Dave Schoonover ('01), Brandon Rennaker ('07),  Collin Rennaker ('12), Ethan Rennaker ('12), and Andy Joslyn ('04). Josh Boutwell ('08) is a coach at Mt. Pleasant High school. Kendall Crockett ('99) is head coach at Morrice, Tony Sigmon ('01) is the head coach at Whitehall and Tyler Wellman ('04) is the offensive coordinator at Lakeland College.

A two way lineman for the Panthers, he played the “blind side” left tackle on offense and end on defense.
