Dwyer finished the season at 12-3 and head coach Joe Marx is expecting another big effort this year -- despite what happened at an April 1 practice.Marx, who starts his third year as the Panthers' coach, saw a crowd gathered around second-year junior starting quarterback Gia Castellino after a drill.
...
"I think I broke a finger," a somber Castellino told Marx.
...
"My heart just sank to my knees," Marx recalled.
Fortunately for the team, Marx hadn't remembered it was April Fools Day and he had been had.
...
"We're really solid on both sides of the ball," Marx said.
...
"A lot of the other coaches were happy to do it that way because they want to do the same thing we are going to do," Marx said."That way they will get more playing time for more people."The Panthers have an experience core back on the varsity."We only really lost two on offense and two on defense so we don't have many to replace," Marx said.
...
"Mguyen has real good hands," Marx said.
...
The Panthers will upgrade their offense this year and use a double pass more, Marx said.Seeing teams from other parts of the state in the playoffs gave the Dwyer coaches a better perspective on the game.
"A lot of those other teams are running the ball," he said.
...
"I think it's still going to be us, Gardens and Lakes," Marx said.

Marx is again assisted by Sam Hollingsworth and Pat Callan.
