SINCLAIRS 

MR. PANTHER AWARD

This award is presented to the Panther player who best displayed dedication, Integrity and Loyalty for the sake of his team. 

2009 Winner:

Michael Pruitt

1928

1928 was a struggle to find game articles, but alas pantherfb.org dug deep into the archives of the old and now defunct Jersey County Democrat. Although the material shows it's age and is very hard to read, most of the game stories are more detailed than those from previous years. Notice that the author of most of these stories was Frederick Miller a Sophomore. Miller, joined the Varsity football team in 1929 as a Junior and also played in 1930 while a Senior. He was a very special young man and gets a special salute from this website for all he accomplished for our football program.

1927 Panther Timeline

Francis Murphy

(Captain)

Murphy, left tackle, was captain, and his fighting courage led his men through many a tight pinch. When an opposing back saw the form of Murphy looming up, he might as well stop, because he would sooner or later.

Francis E. Worthey

 

Worthey, our center, has been on the J.T.H.S. squad for four consecutive years. He has ability and that "old fight" that it takes to make a football player. The backfield could always rely upon that pass that it takes to make a center the most important position on a team.
