Hello
All-
As the summer approaches, it is a necessity that we
get our practice field in shape. We are
starting to put treatments down to help the current
practice field conditions. So--Sunday Gatherings and
Open Field Sessions are cancelled as of today.
We want to make sure we have the best facility
available when Summer Opportunities start in June.
Please stay off the grass. We will also be
doing some renovations to the inside of the Complex
as well.
Pending school board approval, Camp/Opportunity
forms will be available soon. Please look for
them via e-mail and at each school.
The energy and enthusiasm is high. I can't
wait to actually move and start having some fun!
Contact me with questions.
Let's be special!!!!!!!
Thanks!!

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.

Sept.
25-The Jerseyville Panthers started off the grid
season with a bang, winning from Girard by a
score of 6-2. Girard scored their points by a
blocked punt, which resulted in a safety.
Oct. 1- The scrappy Greenfield eleven upset
Jerseyville by three touchdowns on the home
field. Our boys were asleep through the game.
The final score was 18-0.
Oct. 9- However, the Panthers set out to avenge
themselves and did so by winning from Carrollton
with a score 6-0. The team looked far different
from the way it did in the game with Greenfield.
Nail intercepted a pass and ran for the
touchdown.
Oct. 15- Jacksonville, with no defeats, beat
Jerseyville in one of the best games by a score,
6-0. The Panthers put up a good battle, but were
defeated by the Jacksonville team's trick plays
and fast, shifty running.
Oct. 22- Pittsfield and Jerseyville fought a
hard battle on the home field under lights with
the resultant 0-0 tie. Both teams played a good
game and displayed pep and spirit. This, also,
was one of the best games. Pittsfield had one of
the best teams in its history and their
over-confidence prevented them from badly
defeating our hard-fighting team.
Oct. 30- The Whitehall eleven won a 7-0 decision
over Jerseyville on the Whitehall field.
Although Whitehall didn't have much, they had
the Panthers whipped before we started. The
Green County teams feel that we can't take it in
football but we feel we showed them we are
Panthers!
Nov. 5- The Panthers mowed down Pleasant Hill on
the home field by a score 6-0. The team was
working together exceptionally well in this game
and displayed a lot of zip!
Nov. 11- The Panthers were defeated by the zippy
Marquette eleven on the Alton field. Jerseyville
was unable to stop their long gains around the
end and their good broken field running.
Marquette made the touchdown on a pass from the
twenty yard line. Score-6-0.
Nov. 20- The Grid season ended with
Jerseyville's being defeated by Roodhouse on a
cold, snowy field. The Panthers put up a strong,
hard-fought game but the Roodhouse eleven were
too much for them.

"SPIRIT OF HOMECOMING"
|
Joe Malloy |
FOOTBALL
BOYS
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
David
Lewis
"Davie,"
a halfback, was shifty and an excellent broken field
runner. The opposing team found out quickly that he was
like an eel when he carried the ball.
|
Donald
Raftis
"Red,"
whose delight was to "tromp" the opposing
player, was left guard. He was also chosen for guard on
the second team of the Illinois Valley All-Conference
Team.
|
Robert
Allen
Bob
was the fastest end on the team. When the
"end-around" was called., he looked like a
flash as he tore up the field.
|
Robert
Poleet
Robert,
at tackle, seemed always to be in the way of the
opposing ball carrier. He gives promise of being a might
tough tackle before he graduates.
|
 |
 |
|
 |
| Louis
Nail
"Louie"
was a fast halfback. When a reverse was called, he was
sure to be well past the line of scrimmage before he was
downed
|
Frank
Christen
"Hank"
was a power at left tackle and when he grabbed an
opposing ball carrier, that poor fellow thought a
cyclone had struck him. Frank was voted the award given
to the most valuable player. He was also chosen as a
player on the Illinois Valley All-Conference team.
|
Joe
Molloy
Although
not very big, Joe was a fine end. When he hit their
ankles they never got away.
|
Melvin
Clark
Melvin
was the fastest back on the team. Anyone who has seen
him run the famous "circle play" will never
forget it.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Paul
Holmes
Paul, who
played fullback, would lower his head and plow through
the center of the line-he was an inexhaustible force.
Would-be-tacklers thought twice before getting in his
way.
|
Robert
McNeil
Bob played
quarterback and never missed a chance to
"heckle" the enemy team. His value to the team
was backed up with hard tackling.
|
Scott
Gier
Scott was
known as "Hard-head" among the squad. The team
was usually in for a substantial gain when he carried
the ball through the line.
|
Bernard
Shaw
"Beef,"
right tackle, would duck his head and lay them on their
backs when they dared come through his position. He
never backed out, however tough they were.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| John
Robinson
John,
a halfback was light but fast. As a punter he never
failed to punt the ball far down the field, out of
danger.
|
Joe
Kramer
"Cub,"
at right guard, was a bulwark of defense. After going
through his position once or twice, the opposing ball
carriers would start going some other way. Joe was
chosen as guard on the Illinois Valley All-Conference
team.
|
Rupert
Greeling
Rupert
played end and was always on hand when the team needed
pepping up. He also did more than his share when it came
to blocking.
|
Louis
Christen
"Louie"
was a mighty good center, and, though not very big, he
played as well, or better, than the big tough centers he
was up against.
