They faced number one ranked Holton who had outscored its three opponents in the playoffs earlier this season with a combined score of 128-20. Senior linebacker/fullback, John Hake reports,  I think that is one of our greatest weapons. We don't ever get intimidated. The Panthers played with fury. Dreams and goals were on the verge of becoming a reality. <br>The 6-2, 190 pounder Josh Williams, was the workhorse for Concordia. He had 31 carries for 282 yards. Glimpses of John Hakes eighth grade photo flashed through William's mind with the words  1999 State Champs written on the back. Williams wanted more than anything for that dream to come true, and a broken hand wasn't going to stand in his way. The Panthers played like the champions that Coach Culwell taught them that they were and at last the sweet victory came. They no longer had to believe because now they knew that they were champions with the 42-21 win over Holton which gave them the honor to call themselves  1999 State Champions. <br>At the end of the 1999 season, after the Panthers savored their sweet State Championship title, senior quarterback, Kellen Bombardier, tried to express his deepest feelings for Coach Culwell. A lump formed in his throat as emotions of gratitude consumed him. He couldn't get the words out so he expressed his feelings in a letter that thanked Coach Culwell for leading them to success. Bombardier praised,  Thanks for making us believe that we could be State Chmpions by making us say it everyday. It was a dream come true to play with all of my best friends and win the State Championship. pz@96w@z@96wh?z@96wz@96w`z@96wPz@96w0z@96w(Yz@96w`z@96w`\z@96w@z@96w Zz@96wtz@96whhz@96wP^z@96w[z@96wdz@96w\z@96wiz@96wz@96w@7z@96wwz@96w]z@96wuz@96wXz@96wez@96w0`z@96wrz@96w^z@96w`lz@96w^z@96wfz@96w:z@96wcz@96w?z@96wxz@96w_z@96wqz@96w6z@96wH6z@96wsz@96wXz@96wyz@96wYz@96wg
