I was just looking at PEHS memories and noticed a picture of a panther on the old gym wall and that brought back thoughts of the football team. I can't remember our team being called the Panthers (nice logo though)or even if we had an official name. I do remember that terrible, gopher holed field we used to play on and the size of some of those Carberry and Neepawa farm boys! Both of my brothers (Rob and Andrew)and I played for PEHS over the years and they were always tough, hard fought games. But I still remember the fun and that field!

Ian's comments brought memories of playing football for PEHS. That concrete-hard, wind-swept, gopher infested field was the scene of many massacres of us wimpy, little army brats by those gigantic farm-boys from Neepawa and Carberry.
However, there were "perks'-i.e. being released early from class on Friday afternoon to ride the Service Corps bus to games and fraternizing with those lovely PEHS cheerleaders-much to the chagrin of Coach Clark!!
