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.

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.

FOOTBALL
1925- '26
Our second year of football proved to be a success. Under utmost
difficulties, when some teams would have gone under, we seemed to pull
through. Accidents and injuries held back our progress and, as a result
in every game we had to use a different backfield. The team worked very
hard and much credit must be given to them, as well as to Coach Norris,
Mr. Kimes, and Mr. Nicol. Every man who played on the squad received a
letter this year.
Our first game was played in a downpour at Granite City. It was a tight
game since neither team scored until the final minute. Granite used her
"fake" pass that beat Western Military-Academy and scored the
lone six points.
Troy came here Nov. 10 and a victory was in the mind for us. Plummer
received the opening kick and was tackled. That tackle cost him the
remainder of the season on crutches. Time and time again we plunged
through for gains and twice lost the ball 10 inches from the line.
Lofton started a rally in the last quarter with an 8 yard gain; Sid
gained 10 yards and Lofton 14 more; Sidwell made 12 yards for the
counter of the game. We tried for another touchdown and were eight
inches of it when the gun sounded proclaiming our first football
victory.
Carrollton took our left overs for a 33-0 defeat. We next went to
Woodriver without Kinsey and played in a pool of water to our
disadvantage. We went to Troy and again it was a tight game. Briggs
saved the day in the third quarter with 2 "shirt tail"
tackles. In the last quarter, however, they blocked our punt and scored.
In Carrollton our patched eleven held them to twenty points. Then came
our final game with the Edwardsville squad, since they had not lost a
game this year and were conference champions. They opened the game with
their second team, with Sid, Lofton, John and Furge all back in our
lineup, we started playing evenly but soon began to take advantage. We
worked the ball to the thirty-five yard line, thirteen yard line, and
then to the four yard, but luck was against us and we did not make it.
In the second quarter Edwardsville scored a touchdown, In the third
quarter Sidwell caught a punt and ran fifty yards to tie the score. Then
their first team entered but because our line tightened they did not do
as well as the second squad had done. After they had worked the ball
within scoring position "Sid" broke a pass but they blocked
our attempt to punt and scored six more points. Led by Kitten, and Bud,
we kept Edwardsville "scared stiff". After a series of gains
we were three yards of the tying and winning points when the gun spoke
our defeat.

Football Letter Men
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Charles Erwin
"Swipe" played center in almost every game. He was an
unusually accurate passer and his presence in center stopped the
foe more than once. We lose Charles by graduation.
|
John Gilworth
John was a valuable man for wrecking the opponents plays. He
made himself unpopular with his opponents by preventing their
backfield from running off their plays. John was out about three
weeks with a broken rib. We are sorry to lose John by
graduation.
|
Raymond Lofton (Captain)
"Bud" made a fine captain for our second year. His
lengthy gains put the ball in scoring position several times.
Although Bud ran a nail through his foot and was out for a few
weeks he showed a strong comeback in the final game. It will
take a strong man to fill his position next year.
|
Theodore Geirs
A stubborn man who would not step aside for his opponents.
"Ted" was right there when it came to "mussing
up" line bucks. We lose "Ted" by graduation from
our Alma Mater.
|
Frederick Kinsey
Kinsey was on the receiving end of most of the forward passes.
On offense, he kept clipping them off until the referee blew his
whistle. Our supporters regret that he will not be with us next
year.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Lyle Ferguson
Although "Ferge" never put on a football suit until
last fall, he had a natural tendency to "get" someone
and his opponent realized this before the game was over. "Ferge"
turned over in his Ford and was out two games, but returned as
strong as ever to finish the season., for this is his last year.
|
Edward Bauer
"Barney", playing guard, made up in fighting sprirt
what he lacked in weight. He broke through the line time and
time again to spoil the plans of the opposition for a gain.
"Barney" will be back again next fall to play for the
honor of the squad.
|
Immanuel Ayres
Playing his first year of football, Ayres showed himself
capable. He was always in the fight and his was a hard position
for opponents to get around. Ayres, too, will be back again next
fall to do his best.
|
Kenneth Sidwell
"Sid" made an excellent running mate for Captain Bud.
He was a speedy backfield man and hard tackler, also an open
field runner and a marvel at carrying the ball. Sid made our
only touchdowns, running over sixty yards for the last one. Sid
was out four games with a broken arm. Kenneth too, is among the
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Ray Farmer
Farmer was one of the hardest hitting full backs we had, for he
was always there with a hard punch. Farmer will be back again
next fall to do his best in football.
|
William Plummer
Plummer was a hard man to stop and would have scored many a
touchdown had he remained on the team. Injuries in the second
game caused him to lay out for the season. Plummer will not be
with us next year, which we regret sincerely.
|
Harold Catt
"Kitty" started at end and was shifted to half back.
He was ready wherever he was needed. A reliable man will be lost
when "Kitty" graduates this year.
|
Morris Briggs
A very light man but they don't make them any tougher than
"Piggie". He proved unlucky for visitors, especially
his "shirt tail" tackles. He has two more years with
the J.T.H.S. football squad.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Francis Murphy
"Pat" played in most of the games and showed that he
could punt out of danger when ever he was called upon. Murphy
will be a valuable man to the squad next year.
|
Herman Goltz
"Doc" played his first year for J.T.H.S. He was a
quiet and business-like sort of chap, who broke up passes and
did anything that the occasion required. "Doc" has two
more years with us.
|
Francis Worthey
A worthy man was Frank. His defense was like that of a stone
wall and we trust he will perform for us next year.
|
Kenneth Neely
Short and fat but all there, Neely could show his worth.
Opposing men gained little ground when working against him. He,
too, leaves J.T.H.S. this year.
