Senior Year (2013)
This is going to be a big year for the big fella.  As he goes, so may the hopes of the Panther nation.  Gotwals's on-field presence and aggressive style of play has kept the Panthers in many games and set the tone for the rest of the team.  He will be counted on to deliver the group to the promised land in this, his final season.  His big shoulders will come into good use as we ride on his back all the way this season.

Junior Year (2012)

Johns sophomore season hardly went the way he had hoped.  This season presents an opportunity for redemption.  He is the organizer in the back line and his leadership will be counted on.  For us to be successful, John needs to be involved in every leadership aspect of what we do.  He needs to be on the front line dragging the team with him.  Thats a big ask but we are counting on Gotwals to deliver.

Sophomore Year (2011)
After a rookie season in which Gotwals established himself as a premier defender in this league, much is expected in his second season.  He played in all 19 games starting in 14 of the matches.  He established himself as an anchor of a tough defensive unit in the SLIAC and looks to become a dominant leader of the group as we move forward.  During the season he was honored as a player of the week. However this upcoming season the sky is the limit as long as he shows up in playing shape and is completely dialled in to the proceedings.  Be on the look out!


Freshman Year(2010)

John will be counted on this season to be an impact player in the back line.  Gotwals was a regular at his highschool where he won the state title.  We hope he brings the magic with him.  He is a tough hard nosed defender who should be a force to reckon with throughout his four years here.
