01 · The NewsWhat Happened
Bruton enters the 2026 season with the strongest year of Barrington Morrison’s tenure behind it. The Panthers finished 9-3, won a playoff game, and reached the postseason for a third straight season. That run gives the program a recent benchmark for 2026 and raises the standard around Morrison’s team. No returning players, roster movement, schedule detail, or team expectation is supplied here.
