Ian Dewson - High School Football Memories

Ian Dewson has been an athletic person his entire life; and his love for the sport of football earned him a spot on the Palmyra Panthers High School football team when he was younger.

The Dewson-era Panthers were featured in an article published by South Jersey Sports in 1999 that recapped a game against the Riverside Rams. While it was not the most glorious game for the Palmyra Panthers, the following quote shows the never-quitting attitude of Ian Dewson as they went into what otherwise seemed like a hopeless fourth quarter: 

“The Panthers were able to keep the Rams from scoring in the 4th quarter with the help of 3 fumbles and several stupid penalties by Riverside. The Panthers managed to break the shutout with 3:16 left in the game when Ian Dewson picked up a Rams fumble at the Riverside 4-yard line and ran it in for a touchdown. Max Roach's kick put the final score at 42-7.”

Being the athletic and ambitious personality that Ian Dewson is, he continued to fight for his team until the very last second. It was a true display of a quality that is rare in this world, and highly valuable to those who know how to utilize it.
