November 19, 1898: The first game of football ever played in Boyertown took place when the Boyertown Tigers challenged a team from Pottstown.
The Boyertown players did some severe practicing during the week and everyone was expecting a spirited contest. Unfortunately, Pottstown won the game 11-0.

Thanks, Bob. Love these.
And now I know the Schmidt haus.
Fascinating research. Would love to learn more.
Thank you for this information. Wendel (correct spelling) Renninger was my 8th generation great grandfather. I’d be interested in any other information your research may have turned up on him.
Excellent! Thanks.
