Quarterback, Matt Rigley sustained a shoulder injury that kept him out a game. What would the undefeated Panthers do without their starting quarterback? Were their team goals going to fall apart all because of one player's injury? The Panthers rallied together as a unified family, they simply accepted the conditions that they had been dealt, made the proper adjustments, and adapted. They had come a long way and were not about to begin losing now. Coach Scala exhorted,  You have to overcome injuries and you have to capitalize on other people's mistakes. That is exactly what the Panthers did. Coaches put running back, Mike Macek in to fill Rigley's quarterback spot. With such a big change, the Panthers played their hearts out against Dearborn Heights and came shining through once again. Macek threw some beautiful touchdown passes to D.J. Brown and Clint Stoble. Despite the adjustments the Panthers were forced to make, they came out with a spectacular victory over Dearborn Heights 28-6. Assistant Coach Pete Mazzoni reported,  Macek did a nice job of filling in as Quarterback. He is an outstanding athlete. He did what the team needed for the win, that is all that we could ask for. Rob Alderton was the usual, wreckin' machine on defense as he recovered three fumbles.<br>After missing one game, Quarterback Matt Rigley was back and the team was on their way to an undefeated season. They had fought hard all year long and there was only one game left in the regular season against the Taylor Kennedy Eagles. When the kickoff whistle blew it was another exciting game for the Panthers. Adrian Beaver wanted to get in the lime light of things so in the second half kickoff, he caught the ball and returned it for an 85 yard touchdown. On defense, Clint Stroble got in on the action when he scooped up a fumble and ran it in for a 37 yard touchdown. Of course, Superman Macek had the best game of the season, scoring four touchdowns, with 249 yards rushing.  Macek did everything but carry the water and drive the bus. He is very fun to watch. He has established himself as one of the best Running Backs in the state, and I am sure that a lot of schools will be out to see him next year, informs Coach Mazzoni.<br>They had done it. The Redford Union Panthers reached their goals and finished the season undefeated! Misty-eyed Matt Rigley recalls,  Finishing undefeated is something that the seniors have talked about for a long time. The effort that goes into achieving something like this is amazing. The coaches, the team and the fans have all endured so much during the past few years, I am just glad that we could give them all something to cheer about. It is a very rewarding and worthwhile experience to work hard, overcome obstacles and be crowned winners in the end. Six Panther football players were proud recipients of All-Conference status. These include: Matt Rigley, Mike Macek, Eric Newton, Rob Alderton, Adrian Beaver and Eric Charmichel. Mike Macek was named All Metro West. Honorable Mention winners were: Doug Chimel, D.J. Brown, Clint Stroble and Jeff Stewart.  The senior leadership that we had was phenomenal, our captains set their sights on a conference championship and made sure that the team stayed focused on that goal. The kids understood what it took to win and they played as a unit, there were very few individuals, responded Head Coach Glen Scala, when discussing the team's success. The BFS program helped unify the Panthers as a team and gave them self-confidence and a winning attitude. These simple but key ingredients were what gave the Panthers that winning edge to be labeled undefeated League Champions.<br>The Panthers advanced
