Reitz draws Bosse in sectional first round

As part of last night’s blind draw by the Indiana High School Athletic Association to determine the postseason football pairings for the 44th annual state tournament series, the Reitz Nation learned they would meet Bosse in first round action.

Class 4A Sectional 24 First Round (Oct. 21)

  • G1: Reitz at Bosse
  • G2: Owen Valley at Central
  • G3: Boonville at Edgewood
  • G4: Jasper at Harrison

Semifinals (Oct. 28)

  • Game 5: G1 winner vs. G2 winner
  • Game 6: G3 winner vs. G4 winner

Championship (Nov. 4)

  • Game 7: G5 winner vs. G6 winner

This will be the third time that the Panthers have met the Bulldogs in postseason play:

  • 1931: Bosse 13, Reitz 0 (Special postseason Great Depression charity game to determine the city championship)
  • 1990: Bosse 38, Reitz 7 (Class 4A Sectional 16 Semifinal)
  • 1992: Reitz 35, Bosse 0 (Class 4A Sectional 16 Championship)

Coincidentally, the Bulldogs are also this week’s opponents for the Panthers, meaning the teams will meet each other twice in the span of three weeks.

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.
