LEADERS GARAGE 3'6 BENNET 782-2405 , The 1967 football season was one of which the Panthers could be proud. The team did not finish the season with a winning record, but it did finish as a team that had reached football maturity. The Panthers had their prob- lems against Sterling, Talmage, Barneston and Elm- wood, but three of these four teams were ranked among the better football teams in the state. Although the team lost to these ball clubs and also to Murdock and Brock, it was given healing -wotmd comments by coaches who complimented the team as having one of the better de- fensive ball clubs they had played during the season.
