Block R

Reitz Football has placed 3 Seniors from the 2013 Football Team on the Indiana Football Coaches Association Academic All-State Football Team.   Andrew Brown, Link Dierks and Orlando Maldonado are 3 members that have been chosen from Region 9.   ” This award proves that it is not only important to train in the weight room and on the field but it also in the classroom.”  Coach Hape also stated, “We are extremely proud of all three of these young men.  Being a Reitz football player is more than just  Friday nights, it is doing things right in the community, hallways and classroom as well.”

Congratulations to Andrew, Link and Orlando on this great honor!  GO PANTHERS!
