Stadium goes as follows. Scott Purdy drilled into the end zone early in the first quarter. Kris Akin ran in the ball for a two point conversion to put us on the lighted board with a 8-0 lead!

John Marshall's J.V. got six points, and at the half the score was 15-6 in favor of the Panthers. During the third quarter, Purdy chalked up two more touch- downs one of which was aided by a kick by Rick McDonald. The rest of the game was monotonous, because the score remained the same.
