Plan on following the panthers? Be ready to drive. The Wyoming High School Activities Association released football schedules for member institutions last week and Panther fans had best start humming the bars from Willie Nelson's classic. Like the country great, they, too, will be on the road again. Similar to 2010, Powell High School will host Riverton in the first official game of the season. Week 2 will see Powell fans drive east over the Big Horn Mountains to Buffalo for a non-conference showdown with this year's 3A state runner-up. The game also represents the shortest road trip of the 2011 season for the Panthers. Week 3 sends the Panthers almost to Nebraska for a road game at Torrington. After returning home in Week 4 to open 3A West conference play against Jackson, the team climbs back aboard the bus for a road contest at Star Valley. Back-to-back home games against Big Horn Basin opponents Worland (Week 6) and defending conference champion Cody (Week 7) set the stage for one final road trip as Powell closes out the regular season with a trek across South Pass to Green River in Week 8. Depending on highway conditions and playoff games, the Panthers' new schedule features a minimum of 2,292 travel miles next season. The team will get relief the following year, however. For 2012, the schedule will feature the same opponents with only the home and away locations reversed. The Panthers will add an unofficial Week 0 game to their schedule, similar to the games played against Miles City the last two seasons. School officials are attempting to ensure that game takes place at Powell in 2011.
