BATTLE CREEK - It has been an exciting couple of years for the Pennfield boys basketball program.
After going from worst to first and winning a league title last year, the Panthers won their second straight conference championship this season.
For those reasons, and more, Pennfield's Robbie Hattan is our choice for the Battle Creek Enquirer 2026 All-City Boys Basketball Team Coach of the Year.

Hattan headlines the 2026 Battle Creek Enquirer All-City Boys Basketball Team, which is made up of members of the six city boys basketball programs and is voted on by the city coaches and the Enquirer sports staff.
It is the first Coach of the Year honor for Hattan in his second year with the Pennfield program after the Panthers won the Interstate 8 Conference title in back-to-back seasons for the first time since joining the league.
After taking over a program that finished at the bottom of the league the year before, Hattan has helped Pennfield to 36 wins in the last two years.
Pennfield was 18-6 overall and adds a trio to the all-city squad with Johnathan Lake, Calvin Paesens and Peyton Merlington.
St. Philip won its first district title since 2014 and adds the Dzwik triplets, Jackson, Carter and Lincoln.
Battle Creek Central went 10-11 overall and also has three players on the team in Lee Campbell, Damoni Spraggins and Braylen McCoy.
Harper Creek's Maddox McCarty and Dylan Eversole are all-city selections along with Lakeview's Tay'Vion Newton and Nolan Porter, as well as Calhoun Christian's Kyle DeVisser.
