PREP RALLY PLAYOFF: 9 CLASS 6A GRAHAM THOMAS NWA Democrat-Gazette SILOAM SPRINGS — Spenser Pippin has many jobs for the Siloam Springs football team. Pippin, a 5-foot-10, 206-pound senior, is a starter on offense and able to play many different positions on that side of the ball. He used to be a starter on defense and can certainly shi back over to the defensive side if needed. Pippin also plays a huge role on special teams as the holder on field goals and extra points, the deep snapper on punts and just recently joined the kickoff and kickoff return coverage teams. "I compare him to a Swiss Army Knife," said Siloam Springs coach Brandon Craig. "He's got a lot of things that he can do for us." Pippin began the season as a starter at outside linebacker on defense and playing some on offense at an H-Back/tight end position. An injury forced him to move inside for the Harrison game but it also moved sophomore Camden Collins to the outside linebacker spot in Pippin's place. Collins wound up flourishing at the linebacker spot so much that the coaches decided to take a look at Pippin seeing more time on offense. e move has paid off for the Panthers (5-5), who travel to Searcy (8-2) tonight for the opening round of the Class 6A football playoffs. Pippin is tied with Gage Weaver for the team lead with Pippin like a Swiss Army knife GRAHAM THOMAS/HERALD-LEADER Siloam Springs senior Spenser Pippin has helped the Panthers all over the field this season. Pippin and the Panthers travel to Searcy on Friday for the opening round of the Class 6A playoffs. Go Panthers!
