Walls, who has been part of the coaching staff for the past three years as wide receivers coach, was just a middle school student when Wells took over the program in 2011. The Panthers went 9-4 last season and finished as the state's No. 76 ranked team.
Wells accumulated an impressive record of 136-50 during his tenure, leading the Panthers to seven double-digit win seasons and the Class 7A, Region 4 final this past season. Walls expressed his excitement about the opportunity, stating it's 'nothing short of a blessing' to follow in his former coach's footsteps.
