A LITTLE PANTHER GRIDIRON HISTORY
December 2, 1967 - Pascagoula caps a 8-3-1 season with a resounding 28-9 win over Vicksburg Cooper High Greenies in the Pecan Bowl Classic at War Memorial Stadium. The game sponsored by the Pascagoula Knights of Columbus resumed after twenty years of non-existence.
Heavy thunderstorms and tornado warnings that afternoon threatened the playing of the game but the passage of the cold front brought frigid temperatures and gusty winds to the stadium. The win also closed the first season in the newly constructed home side of WMS.
One Panther fan, seven year old Walter Thornton said "Darn it's cold!"
