her football team has had to continue on the practice field and on the chaulk board. Last week the team was scheduled to scrimmage Wossman and 4-A Woodlawn in Monroe, but due to heavy rains the event was cancelled. The Panther have not taken field against anyone other than themselves since their last game of the previous season. These guys have been chopping at the bit to get out on the field to test the hard work that they put in over the off-season.The Panthers will take the field in pre-season action this week at home against Delhi in the jamboree. There will be both varsity and jr. varsity action.
The District 2 1-A Delhi Bears went 3-7 last season with impressive wins over Cedar Creek, Tensas and Bernice. In each of these games the Bears showed that they can really put some points on the board putting up 35 points against Cedar Creek, 49 against Tensas; and 42 against Bernice.
I encourage everyone to come out and support the Panthers in 2009. I know I am looking forward to seeing some football.

It's great to see that some real teaching is going on. Football players are more than just great athletes. In order for a football player to be a real success, he needs to be a good student. The game of football requires very hard physical work as well as mental work and study.
These pictures give me hope that our young men are not being exploited for profit, but they are being taught lessons that they will be able to share in the future.
Good luck Panthers! You have people all over the world pulling for you.
