Publisher's Synopsis
The Holliston Panther Football Program was birthed in 1896. Over the past 121 years, Holliston won 21 league titles and 6 State Championships. All of those those championships and 20 of those titles have come since the Panthers returned to the gridiron field in 1957 after a 32-year interruption. Solid coaching and talented young men on the field have resulted in a program that has developed many great stories and an array of statistical records. Statistics don't lie. They tell a story all their own. And the stats found in this book speak of the many great athletes who have played football at Holliston. In this book, you will find the names of those players and coaches who hold the records at Holliston as well as lists of many other great players who have helped this program become a Champion. Football, however, is a team sport. Most players on most teams never have their names mentioned because their positions do not develop statistics that can properly measure the player's value to the team. As a result, for every name you find in this book, there are many unnamed players who played a valuable supportive role in the accomplishment. This book totals 208 pages of statistical data, giving long lists of players and coaches in numerous categories, and contains over 60 pictures of those who hold high positions in the records standings. Author, Kenneth (Ken) Dunn, who wrote the first two editions of 'Holliston Panther Football, A Tradition of High School Football Excellence Since 1896' produced this perfect companion book to his initial works. Now, all the statistics of the football program (that can be found) reside in this one location. The smaller size of this book makes it perfect to take to the game and practical to use when a Red Sea Panther fan wants to determine if a current performance is challenging a record from the past. It answers most arguments as to who was the first to accomplish a certain feat, who has the most yardage, who scored the most touchdowns and what teams performed the best in many different statistical categories. Every Holliston Panther Football fan will want to own this book.
