Panthers Split Jamboree

The Panthers finally took the field of play in 2009 at home in the Jamboree. Playing host to Delhi, the Junior Varsity Panthers took the field a 5:00pm against a very impressive the Bears team.

The JV Bears scored early and often and won the contest 28-0. The next JV games will be announced on this blog in future posts.















The same was true when the Varsity squads took the field except the Panthers were on top this time.















Senior kick returner Jeremy Lyons took the opening kick-off back for a touchdown to put the Panthers up by 6 in the first few seconds of the game. The Delhi Bears took the field on offense, but were unable to get much going due to the stingy Panther defense.




















The Varsity Panthers win this one 26-0!! The team is much improved on offense and the defense and special teams played a good game. Even though it was a jamboree, the Town of Lake Providence is elated to see any victory at Hamely Field.

The Panthers open the season next week at Carroll. This one will be for all the marbles against a very athletic football team.

The Panthers would like to thank Lake Providence Sonic for sponsoring each Panther touchdown scored.

Panthers look forward to your support on the road in Monroe. Be there to root for YOUR "LAKE PROVIDENCE PANTHERS"!!!

Panther Get Ready for Pre-Season Action

A very disappointed Panther 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.
