Jasper at Reitz: #ReitzFootballFriday Sectional Semfinal presented by Tracy Zeller Jewelry

Two of the most tradition-rich programs in Indiana renew their postseason rivalry as the Mighty Panthers host the Jasper Wildcats this Friday night in a Class 4A Sectional 24 semifinal game.

In what has become an almost yearly addition to the Panthers’ schedule, this will be the eighth time in nine years that the teams have met.

Reitz leads the series, six games to three. Andy Hape is 28-7 overall and 2-0 against Jasper. Wildcat head coach Tony Ahrens is 124-30 overall but 2-5 against the Panthers.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
