Week 4 GameDay Central, brought to you by Tracy Zeller Jewelry

While Reitz suffered another tough loss Friday night against Castle, there’s no time for the Panthers to lick their wounds. They’ll open city competition against another tough opponent, who also happens to be one of their oldest rivals…the Central Bears.

Central is 2-1 overall and 2-0 in the SIAC & city. Reitz is 1-2, 0-1, 0-0. The teams met twice last season, winning one apiece. Reitz won the regular season encounter, surviving 35-34 in overtime. The Bears extracted revenge eight weeks later in the sectional semifinal, winning 37-35, thus ending the Panthers’ season.

Reitz leads the all-time series, which began in 1921, 66-29-4.

Dan Engler's love for Reitz Football goes back a long time. Engler played for the Panthers all four years of high school and graduated in 1996.
That summer, as the popularity of the Internet began to explode, Engler's search for Reitz Football information came up empty, so his father suggested he create a website. Engler taught himself HTML and launched the Unofficial Reitz High School Football Home Page that August.
Since then, Engler, through ReitzFootball.com, has spent the past 25 years chronicling the rich history and tradition of Reitz High School Football.
Engler and his wife, Melissa, have two sons, Logan and Micah, and a daughter, Juliette. Engler has traveled all over the world but is proud to call Evansville his home.
