REITZ FOOTBALL IS "FREZZIN' FOR A REASON"

Block R    Polar

 

Twenty-Four Reitz football players will be braving the freezing temperatures to participate in the 2014 Polar Plunge at Scales Lake Beach in Boonville, In.   Coach Hape says, “R” players will be plunging @ 11:45 Saturday February 1st in honor of Zach Harris.  Special Olympics of Indiana is an organization that provides a great service for the state of Indiana and we are proud to be able to participate in this event.”

Special olympics are a not-for-profit organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in more than 20 Olympic sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, reaching more than 11,000 athletes across Indiana.  All proceeds from this event benefit Special Olympics athletes in our community, giving them the means to train locally and to compete at the state level in a number of Olympic-type sports.

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.
