The 1955 Panther football team was built around a large nucleus of returning veterans. The conference standings were five wins, zero losses. Two non-conference wins rounded off the Panther schedule. This gave the Pickford team a nine game winning streak and first in the little eight conference for the 1955 season. Ierry Froman and Don Stevenson made the all Conference first team. Iaynce Leach and Bill Wallis made the second team, while Taylor, Fountain, and Ames made honorable mention. Iaynce Leach established a new school record for the most conversions after touchdowns. Donald Stevenson broke the old school records for the most passes attempted and the most passes completed. The team also established a record for the most points scored in a season, 404.
