Greater Evansville Football Hall of Fame to induct over a dozen Panthers into first class

0

Over 20 former Reitz Football players and coaches will be inducted into the Greater Evansville Football Hall of Fame this fall, it was announced Tuesday.

The Panthers, along with many others from the area, will be honored at the newly-formed organization’s induction banquet on Sunday, Oct. 9, at the Holiday Inn Airport.

The Hall of Fame will have a physical presence, as well, according to Tim Turpin, who has been instrumental in bringing the National Semipro Baseball Hall of Fame to Evansville. The two halls will share a facility with others (including the Greater Evansville Baseball Hall of Fame and Greater Evansville Basketball Hall of Fame), and will open sometime in 2017.

“We’ll have a football field made of engraved bricks and black granite pieces,” said Turpin.

Turpin was also excited about Logan’s Square, which will be an area at the Hall of Fame devoted to the memory of the late Logan Brown, the Reitz student who was killed last year by a drunk driver.

“I played on the Outlaws with his dad, Charles,” said Turpin.

Sam Ball, the Henderson native who played for the Baltimore Colts and appeared in Super Bowls III and V, will be the guest speaker at the banquet.

Reservations should be made by Sept. 15 and can be downloaded here.

So far, 19 former Panthers have been announced:

  • Jamie Bateman
  • Tyrone Browning
  • Tom Buck
  • Herman Byers
  • Pete Fisher
  • Marlon Flemming
  • Don Hansen
  • Andy Hape
  • Bill Hape
  • John Hart
  • Matt McIntosh
  • Paul McIntosh
  • Bob Padgett
  • Duce Reeder
  • Mick Schnell
  • Tim Shipp
  • Bob Stephenson
  • Don Waterman
  • Tom Wilson

More will be announced as the date gets closer.

“We’ll have over 300 inducted in the first class,” added Turpin. “This should have been done 30 years ago. I figure, if there had been 10 people added over 30 years, that wouldn’t leave anyone out who deserves to be in included.”

0

UE Head Women’s Tennis Coach Jayson Wiseman has announced the signing of two transfer student athletes for the fall of 2016. The addition of the Daria Pentsova and Chieko Yamada brings the incoming class of tennis players to five with the signing of three freshmen for the incoming class.

Pentsova comes to Evansville as a sophomore transfer from University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley. A native of Kiev, Ukraine, Pentsova met with early success at the collegiate level both on and off the court. In addition to being honored on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll at UTRGV, Daria also went 3-1 in her first collegiate tournament and won the back draw at the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open.

“I was very interested in Daria coming out of High School, but by the time I had arrived here at UE, she had already signed at UTRGV. I am very excited to have Daria joining us as a transfer here at UE, she has a game that is tailor made for the American hard courts and she is an aggressive and tough player on the court. I am confident that she will be a major contributor to our line up in both singles and doubles.”

Yamada joins the Purple Aces as a junior transfer from Shasta College in California. A native of Saitama, Japan Yamada played Junior College tennis in Northern California for Shasta. In 2015, she was undefeated in league play and was crown champion at 1st singles. Chieko was the #1 seed from Northern California in the California State Community College Championships where she was ultimately the runner up. Chieko also has an extensive background in international tournament play, participating in numerous ITF events and achieving a career high ranking of 552 in the world.

“We are very excited to have Chieko joining our team next fall. Her proven success at the international and collegiate level is a fantastic addition to our incoming class and will provide an experienced and successful presence in our line-up. Chieko is also a very hard worker who is dedicated to her success in the classroom, she and Daria both fit what we are looking for in our student athletes here at UE.

Both transfers will join the Aces in the fall of 2016.

On April 6, 1941, a group of local residents posed for this picture in front of the recreational hall. They included Rev. Richard Denbo, a chaplain and former pastor of Old North Methodist Church (left), Col. Robert Stillwell (right), and Karl Kae Knecht (second from right), a photographer and columnist for the newspaper, who is standing in front of Capt. Guthrie May.
