Keystone High School - Key Yearbook (Knox, PA)

i , s On August 18, the Panthers began the long, grueling practices that are necessary to perfect a football team. This year Keystone acquired a new teacher and coach, Mr. Cary Steele. Under Coach Steele's direction, the boys learned many new tactics and ideas to use against their opponents. To open the season, the Union Knights, a perennially good team, traveled to Keystone for the first game. The Panthers played a long, hard game, but didn't seem to be able to get past the tough Union line. The next game on the schedule was at Moniteau. The Panthers really played a hard game that night, and seemed to be pretty much in control of the scoreboard, but due to penalties, two Keystone touchdowns were called back. This left the Warriors ahead by only one point at the end of the game. The following week the Panthers proved their strength by trouncing Shannock Valley, 21 to 0. And then after losing the next game to the Redbank Bulldogs, the Panthers came back to beat East Brady. Karns City was the Keystone Homecoming game and the boys really tried their best but the game ended with Karns City as the victor. The Panthers lost again to Clarion, but came back again to win over the A. C. V. Falcons. Keystone lost their final game against Brookville, ending the season with a 3 and 6 record. Even though the season ended with more losses than wins none of the boys regret a minute of it. The many memories, such as the fiercely fought Moniteau game, beating Shannock under the lights, the intense spirit leading up to the Homecoming game, and just their personal experiences with each other playing as a team and being under the fine direction of Coach Steele, make up a very integral part of these boys' lives.

Mark Baker, Halfback Chip Huston Tackle John Fmefrock End THE VOICE OF A SENIOR PANTHER I'll always remember my one and only score after three tries. Imagine my surprise when the ball flew through the uprightsf' I'll never forget the kick-off at the Union game when I was in on the first tackle of the '67 football season? O The Moniteau game was a really heart-breaking experience. To lose by one point after such a tremendous effort was almost too much to takef' In the first play of the Brady game I threw a cross-body block and got kicked in the face. There I was, out for the rest of the game. I think Keystone's football is on the way up and in the next few years will be heard from. I just wish I could stay. I was sad when it was over, but Iill always be proud to call myself a Panther. I would like to say that I played with the greatest guys in the world. I'm sure I'll remember them long after I've forgotten individual plays and games. And, of course, thereis Coach Steele, he's the greatestf' On the night I was to be team captain, I lost my temper and was 'expelled' from the game dur- ing the second quarter. It had been my best game by far and I had really been doing well. This was something I had prayed for and when I was finally given my chance, I blew it. So what can you do, but go to it next timef, Tom Carey, Halfback Ted Ieannerat Tackle Herk Stuart End
