Saegertown wasn’t given any favors in the offseason. Not only were the Panthers bumped up to Class AA for the new PIAA two-year cycle, but they now have to deal with powerhouses in Region 3, including Sharon, Hickory, Grove City and Wilmington. The enrollment bump could just be a bubble and Saegertown will be back in Class A two years, but for now, the Panthers have a brutal football schedule to deal with. Saegertown opens at county rival Cambridge Springs before opening the home schedule against Sharon. The Panthers will celebrate Homecoming on Oct. 12 against Maplewood and Senior Night on Oct. 19 against Hickory.
