GAMEDAY NOTES 🗒️ We got a big one tonight at Keysor Field 🚨 A win: 🏈 secures a playoff spot 🏆 clinches the outright GMC title 🔥 extends Paulding's conference win streak to 14 games 📈 pushes Jim Menzie past Jim Caserta in all-time PHS coaching wins GO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!

With Friday's win over Hicksville, Jim Menzie has tied the man who coached him, Jim Caserta @coachjimcaserta, for fourth place in all-time Panther coaching wins. Congrats to Coach Menzie on another Panther milestone! (And apologies for the AI-face on Coach Caserta)

GAMEDAY NOTES 🗒️ Paulding can clinch at least a share of the 2026 GMC title with a win tonight in Hicksville. The Panthers are also gunning for their 14th consecutive win in GMC play. The Panthers are 26-18-3 all-time against the Aces and have won the last three meetings.

ANSWER: The Panthers reeled off eight straight winning seasons from 1955-1962. PHS has had gridiron success off and on since then, but hasn’t had four consecutive seasons over .500 until 2023-present.

TUESDAY TRIVIA 🤔 Paulding is currently experiencing its fourth straight winning season. When is the last time the Panthers finished above .500 for four or more seasons in a row?

GAMEDAY NOTES 🗒️ Paulding will try for its 13th consecutive GMC win tonight as the Panthers host Edgerton. PHS has never beaten Edgerton at home and is 3-4 all time against the Bulldogs.

ANSWER : Sept. 22, 1995, when Joel Parrett connected from 22 and 24 yards out in the Panthers’ homecoming win over Ada.

TUESDAY TRIVIA 🤔 Paulding junior Magdiel Lopez hit two key field goals in the Panthers' huge win over Fairview last week. When is the last time a Paulding player hit two or more field goals in a single game?

GAMEDAY NOTES 🗒️ Control of the GMC is on the line as the Panthers head to the Reservation to battle Fairview. Paulding is 4-7 all-time against the Apaches but won the last two, which were among the biggest wins in program history. It could be another instant classic tonight

ANSWER: Jalen Manz, who already has 5 career TDs against the Apaches (2 rushing, 3 receiving). Paulding will need another big game from #6 on Friday to take full control of the GMC.

TUESDAY TRIVIA 🤔 On Friday, Paulding and Fairview will face off for the 11th time in the neighboring districts' history, including two classics from last year. Which Panther has scored the most career touchdowns against the Apaches?

MY TAKE 🐾 We can’t overlook Ayersville. That happened last year and they damn near beat us. That said, we’ve got too many weapons for them to handle. If we can limit turnovers and penalties we’re golden. Paulding wins 35-6.

GAMEDAY NOTES 🗒️ Paulding (4-1, 2-0) can extend its GMC win streak to 11 with a victory tonight at Ayersville (1-4, 0-2). PHS is also looking to even the all-time series, which the Pilots currently lead 2-3.

The only thing better than beating Wayne Trace is beating UP Wayne Trace The Panthers came to hit last night💥 Ridge is looking more comfortable each week 😎 Salas has been such a great surprise. Dude is a menace at LB 💪 O-line is starting to gel 🚧 #PantherPride

ANSWER: If you said 28-6-3, give yourself a pat on the back. #BeatWayneTrace
