John Hart’s 2007 squad featured several outstanding players, five of whom would be named all-state (Craig Austin, Zach Campbell, Chris Deig, Tyler Mattingly, Paul McIntoch). McIntosh, was also selected as the Evansville Courier & Press All-Metro Player of the Year, the Indianapolis Star’s Mr. Football and the Gatorade Football Indiana Player of the Year.

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.
