SINCLAIRS 

MR. PANTHER AWARD

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

2007 Winner:

JARED PEGUE

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.

PANTHERFB.ORG HALL OF FAME TREE

Game of the Past

JCHS 21 CM 20

September - 1993

Griffith gets tackled from behind by a CM defender in this 1993 Play-off game.

 

With it's offense relentlessly pounding JCHS throughout the second half, CM had the defending Mississippi Valley Conference champions staggered and on the ropes. 

But the Panthers promptly served notice that they are not about to relinquish the Valley title without a fight. 

After CM battled back from a 14-3 halftime deficit to take a 20-14 lead with eight minutes left, JCHS sophomore Dylan Griffith answered with a 78-yard touchdown run and Kyle Breden added the PAT that vaulted the Panthers to a 21-20 victory over CM at Jersey Community High School.
