FOOTBALL GLEN ALLEN 13—JAMES MONROE 6 In the initial contest of the season the Panthers, previously rated two touchdown underdogs against the strong James Monroe High School team from Fred- ericksburg, stole some of the Yellow Jackets thunder and came up with a hard earned 13-6 victory. Behind the peerless blocking of the entire Glen Allen line, Tinsley and Page raced for two touchdowns and enough to win. GLEN ALLEN 18—CULPEPER 7 The next week end our boys traveled to Culpeper with all the desire and determination they had shown on the previous Friday. Rated as underdogs again, the Panthers proved that they did not like this role and trounced the Blue Devils 18 to 7. Co-Captain Tinsley, Ted Page and Ed Jackson scored for the Panthers. Co-Captain Luk- hard, Sherwood Frostick and Bill Thacker were the line standouts. GLEN ALLEN 36—ASHLAND 2 The Panthers, on the warpath once more, again served notice that they would be heard from in District II competition by walloping Henry Clay at Ashland. The Glen Allen tallies were made by ‘Tinsley, who garnered two touchdowns, Ted Page, John Gilbert and Howard Trice. Trice made a sensational catch on a pass from Brandmahl; this play was the feature of the contest. Tinsley added 4 points from placement to round out the scoring. The entire line played well and held Ashland to a net gain of 45 yards rushing and passing.

THE 1948 PANTHERS The 1948 Glen Allen Football eleven achieved the unusual honor of winning not only the championship of District II but also the Eastern Regional Title. In winning these two titles the Panthers went through a seven game schedule undefeated and untied. The climax of the sea- son was reached when Suffolk High’s Red Raiders were defeated, thereby bringing the first Eastern Regional Championship to Glen Allen. Since only five lettermen were available when football practice started in September, the coaching staff thought the Panthers would travel a very rocky road during the 1948 season. The coaches, however had not anticipated that the Glen Allen spirit and the desire to win of a group of boys who would play as a team would bring the Panthers to a goal never attained by any other team in Glen Allen athletic history. An outstanding characteristic of this great team was its splendid spirit and determined cooperation. While this team possessed its indi- vidual stars, each man put his team and his school ahead of his own personal glory.

FOOTBALL GLEN ALLEN 40—MANCHESTER 0 In their fourth game the Panthers had to go all out to defeat a stubborn Thomas Dale eleven from Chester. The Panthers started as if they were going to run the Chester team out of the City Stadium but a fumble on the 6-inch line stopped their early first period drive. This bad break seemed to stymie the team and they could not engineer another scoring march, However, late in the second period Billy Thacker broke through to block a Dale punt and Tinsley recovered for the initial score. In the fourth period Tinsley passed 30 yards to Ed Jackson, who raced 25 yards for the second tally. A fourth period Chester score was offset when Kenny Vaughan raced 30 yards for our last tally. GLEN ALLEN 21—CHESTER 7 “Rain, rain, go away” was the theme of our game with Manchester, played in the City Stadium. The Panthers waded through rain and mud to soundly trounce the Lancers 40-0. This was supposed to be a toss-up but the Panthers went right to work and rolled up 20 points in the first period. Two scores in the second period and another “Trice catch” in the third finished out the scoring. The whole Glen Allen squad participated in this rain battle and they took to the water like ducks. GLEN ALLEN 27—HIGHLAND SPRINGS 0 November 19! This is a red letter day in our memories. Playing the football classic of Henrico County, Glen Allen turned on the steam to defeat its arch rival, Highland Springs. This important victory not only assured the Panthers of the District II honors but also avenged the 1947 loss to the Springers. Played before 6000 fans in the City Stadium the Panthers showed that they were ready for this one by recovering a Springer fumble on the opening kick off and marching to a score in six plays. Tinsley went 13 yards through the middle for the score and added the point.
