The Derby Panthers sewed up the 2023 Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League I football championship this past week when they scored a 35-27 victory against Maize South.
The win moves Derby to 6-1 overall and 5-0 in AVCTL I action with just one week remaining. The Panthers control the head-to-head tie-breaker against Hutchinson, who is the only other AVCTL I team that can still catch Derby, but that “catch” would only be to tie the Panthers and the Panthers control the tie-breaker guaranteeing them the league title.
Derby closes AVCTL I play this Friday night against Newton while Hutchinson will step outside of AVCTL I play and will travel to Andover.
