The Untouchable Panthers of 1964 is a story every Hickory resident should know. It’s a story of excellence in sport history. The Panther football team went undefeated that year, just like Hickory High Football team did last year. They also took the state title, just like Hickory High did last year. The difference is the Ridgeview Panthers also went unscored on for that season. The score record at the end of the season was 446-0 which made it a perfect season and why they rightfully deserve the title of the “Untouchables”.
