A lot goes in the other direction as well. As the decades drift by, the Panthers are still playing at Lockhart Field and a big part of the town still comes out to watch the team play on Friday night. Or Saturday, like when Frankfort welcomes Sand Creek for homecoming. Generation after generation, you see people taking pride in wearing the purple and gold. It starts at a young age and our kids take it very seriously.
Tradition also brings with it high expectations.
But it's one the current Panthers are proud to follow. I couldn't see myself playing at another school where there isn't the tradition we have here. One of those traditions is forming a tunnel on the field, stretching from one goal line to midfield. Players run through this tunnel of Panther people just prior to kickoff. It's for everybody.
