His best team was in 2021 when the Wildcats finished with a 9-3 record before losing in the second round of the playoffs to Saks 35-22. 2025 Season Ben Panter has served as the Wildcats' defensive coordinator under Ryan Hall for the last six seasons. Panter played football and baseball at Walker High School before graduating in 1996 with a football scholarship to Livingston University (now University of West Alabama).
