Jasper 24, Reitz 22 | Twitter video of big plays

Despite fighting back from an 11-0 deficit, Reitz watched in agony as Jasper kicked a 47-yard field goal with seven seconds that secured a 24-22 Wildcat victory.

It was a reversal of emotions from a minute earlier, when on 4th and 29, Elijah Dunham caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Evan Deig, followed by a successful two-point conversion that gave the Panthers a 22-21 lead.

Jasper improved to 10-1 and will return to Evansville to face Harrison (9-2) next week for the Class 4A Sectional 24 Championship.

Reitz ended their season at 9-2.

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.
