Our volunteer numbers have dipped recently, and we’re hoping to revitalize our amazing core of volunteers.

Najee Harris Just Sent a Very Loud New York Giants Message Najee Harris just made his New York Giants presence known.

Today’s docent is Jason Fithian ‘87 AHS grad and Hall of Fame Class of 2025 Football Inductee.

During the 1985 and 1986 football seasons, Jason Fithian was a standout in all three phases for the Panthers. Not only was he a two-way starter at wide receiver and defensive back, but he was also an outstanding kick returner. As a Junior, he showed his potential ranking second on the team in receiving, touchdowns, rushing and scoring, and led the team in return yards. A season highlight was a four-touchdown night vs. Mt Diablo – returning both a kick and punt and scoring on a rush and reception! As a senior, Fithian became an even bigger part of the Panther attack, as he led them in receptions, interceptions, touchdown and several other categories. He was selected by his teammates as both a team captain and the Most Valuable Player. His exploits led to him being selected second team All-DVAL, and honorable mention All-East Bay on both offense and defense. He was also named to the prestigious Contra Costa Times “Cream of the Crop” of football prospects and played in the Contra Costa – Alameda Counties All-Star game.

His athletic talents were not limited to the football field, as Fithian was also a baseball standout at Antioch. His senior season, he made All-DVAL, as an outfielder. His two-sport success led to Fithian being named Antioch’s Co Athlete of the Year in 1986-87, and to be named as one of the Contra Costa Times Top 50 Athletes.

After graduation, Jason moved to Los Medanos College where he continued his football success over two seasons, leading the Mustangs in receptions, yards and scoring both years. He was first team All-Camino Norte conference and honorable mention All-State selection as a wide receiver both seasons. His teammates chose his as the Outstanding Skills Players twice, and as their team captain for his sophomore season.

Stop in and say hi to Jason, he can show you around, just visit or share some stories.
