Aaron Braswell, Piedmont's all-time leading tackler, will lead the Panthers into the football season in less than one week.

As the youngest head football coach in the county at 23, Braswell takes over a program that has struggled for consistency and wins over the last few years. Piedmont will now be playing 4A football in the Southern Carolina Conference, and it will not get any easier. Still, Braswell brings stability, a familiar face to the community, and an attitude and desire to rebuild Piedmont football.
