Reitz vs. Jasper for the Sectional Championship: It’s #ReitzFootballFriday presented by Tracy Zeller Jewelry!

#RFFThe Mighty Panthers will host the Jasper Wildcats this Friday night in the Class 4A Sectional 24 Championship Game.

The only setback for Jasper, at 10-1 and ranked No. 6 in Class 4A, was a one-point overtime loss to Vincennes on Sept. 19. Since then, they’ve won six in a row and earned a share of the Big Eight conference championship.

The Panthers lead the series, 5-3, but Jasper won last year’s sectional championship game, 17-9. In 2012, Reitz upset then-No. 2 Jasper, 31-30, battling back from a 17-0 deficit.

Coach Hape is 18-5 overall and 0-1 against the Wildcats, while Jasper head coach Tony Ahrens is 2-4 against Reitz.

The winner will face the winner of the Columbus East vs. East Central game for the regional championship. Here are the potential match-ups and locations:

  • Reitz at Columbus East

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.
