INDUCTEES

The 1991-92 Lake County High School football team was the first and only team in school history to go undefeated in the regular season. The Panthers compiled a 9-0 regular season record while defeating opponents with a combined score of 231-34 and garnering the Intermountain League Championship.

Nine seniors started on both offense and defense, leading the team to the Colorado State playoffs. In the first round, the Panthers confidently defeated the Las Animas Trojans 13-0. Lake County battled a formidable Hotchkiss team in the second round. In their last offensive play of the game, the Panthers turned the ball over on a failed fourth-and-one attempt. The Bulldogs would control the ball for the remaining minutes of the game to give Lake County their first loss of the season, a heartbreaking score of 14-16. The teams 10-1 record on the year remains the best in Lake County High School history.
