Thank you for visiting the site of the Kansas City Panthers minor league professional football team.  There are no million dollar contracts and no million dollar sponsors.  These men simply play for the ultimate love of the game.  Many have full time jobs, families and are active in their respected communities and still find time and energy for practices and games.  As we end our 13th season and prepare for our 14th, we look forward to seeing you in 2010.






Now that tryouts are over, one of the major changes you will see this year is on Offense.  The Panthers coaching staff have moved veteran Definsive end Shane Pitts to Tight end.  The 6'4 265lb Pitts brings some much need power to the Panthers Offensive attack.  Third string Quarterback Angelo Piercey 6'4 235lbs. has been moved to Tightend as well.  He will also be another big target for the quarterback David Jones to throw to this year.  Long time Veteran Center Josh Presler has been moved to right Tackle. At 6'4 330lbs.  Josh will remain the Line captain.  His move will allow the playbook to be more aggressive.

A.K.A The Bus Driver passed away on October 20, 2009
He was the team bus driver for the Springfield Rifles Semi Pro Football Team and a big supporter of the Semi Pro football world.

I use to talk to him when he would come to KC and on the message boards.  When my program was struggling in the early years, he gave me some very encouraging words.  I will never forget him.  He was a very good man and gentleman.  Semipro football in the Midwest has lost its number one fan.

Even though he was not on the Panthers Staff.  As a tribute and rememberance, his name is added to our web site Wall of fame.  We list all the individuals who have served with the Panthers from day one to now.  Even though he was not living in KC, we feel like he was part of this family too. Rest in peace Bob and thank you for being there for the Rifles, Panthers and Midwest football.  Yours Truly, Jimmie Ross....
