Reitz edges Mater Dei, 42-35, wins share of city title

After building a 28-0 halftime lead, Reitz narrowly survived an amazing Wildcat comeback. Mater Dei went on a 35-7 second-half run, but a Panther touchdown with 13 seconds left secured a Reitz win and a share of the city title with the Wildcats.

The Panthers improved to 6-3 overall, 5-2 in the SIAC and 5-1 in the city. Mater Dei lost their second straight, falling to 7-2, 5-2 and 5-1, respectively.

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.
