As classes wind down and summer football heats up, MaxPreps is excited to release its annual Preseason Top 25 Early Contenders. The Plant Panthers come in at #14

Strengths: Top to bottom, Plant could be as deep and talented as it has ever been. Running back Wesley Bullock is James Wilder in a 5-foot-6 frame, as he rushed for 1,308 yards a year ago.
