Podcast transcript:
Hello everyone welcome to this week’s edition of the ReitzFootball.com Podcast presented by Reis Tires, where we go in chronological order to recap EVERY game in the history of Reitz High School Football. I’m your host, Dan Engler.

In last week’s episode, we looked back at the season opener against Princeton. You can listen to that episode and all our podcasts by going to ReitzFootball.com and clicking on PODCAST in the top menu.

This week, the Panthers venture across the Mighty Ohio to Owensboro for their first-ever meeting with the Red Devils.

“The Reitz lads are showing more class lately,” according to Coach Maple in the Oct. 8 Courier. Their improved skills, however, weren’t enough to stop the veteran team, and Owensboro ran over the Panthers, 55-6.

Wilson was the all-star for the Red Devils. He was responsible for 35 of the team’s points, with three rushing touchdowns, two passing scores and five kicks from goal.

The Panthers’ only score once again came from team captain Ralph Woods. The senior quarterback connected with Emerson Lynch for a 20-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

Reitz fell to 0-2 while Owensboro improved to 2-0.

Next week, the Panthers are on the road again at Mount Vernon.

Woods once again set a record, extending his career touchdowns thrown to six.

Remember, this podcast is brought to you free of charge by our friends at Reis Tires. As the series continues, we’ll eventually cover all 1,000+ games. With every edition, we’ll preview and recap the next game in chronological order.

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.
