Yes. Last year they had a pretty darn good defense. They could run the ball well last year and still can but now they can throw all over the place well and let their playmakers go get it. What makes them so good overall is their size and speed on both sides of the ball.

Statistically they are better at running the ball this year than last year. Offensively by this point last year they had thrown for 2900 yards. This year just a shade over 2000. But the running back has run for 1300 when he had 671 last year. Not sure you can always go by stats because they can be misleading, imo.

That's interesting. I always knew that ground was the Henry Getz Baseball Field from the Tri-City History books produced in the '80s. Didn't realize that was a football field at one time as well. Did look on Google Earth. Does seem to be a spot that could tell a lot of stories.

Many times I had to run across the street to the Wooden Nickel to tell someone they were up to bat :)

Alba Panthers played up until late 50’s I think. Games were played in Purcell on field north of 3rd street across from old Wooden Nickle bar. Field ran north and south you can make out part of the outline still on Google Earth. Softball field was built on south end of it many years ago

You might have to see if anyone has info on the few years Alba supposedly had football. I think I saw a picture of it ages ago, and it seems Kenny Boyer was a player.
