Dear Sports Editor:

On behalf of the Red Devil Football Moms, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the numerous community members, businesses, and parents for their support this year. From the start of two-a-day practices through the last game and end-of-the-year banquet, I have been overwhelmed with the generosity of our community and parents and the sheer number of people who have helped make this year so successful.

I would like to publicly thank the following businesses/individuals for their support throughout this season: St. Clairsville Ruritan Club for the use of their building for football camp and the weekly team feeds, Red Devil Moms, Saints Club, Mr. Jenkins & Mark Kreiter of Jenkin’s Sporting Goods, Swan’s Sport Shop, Nickles Bakery (Scott Ketter), Riesbeck’s (Dennis Kasprowski & Scott Carnes), Jacob & Sons Wholesale Meats (Chops), St. C. Vocal Music Boosters, Kelly Rine & the St. C. Athletic Dept., the Ferns Family, Bob & Wendy Gary, Sunrise Rotary Club, Fabio’s Pizza, DiCarlo’s Pizza, Longhorn Steakhouse, Undo’s Family Restaurant, Gazette Grille, BCCI for the weekly banners(John Nemeti), Olive Garden, Bud’s Bloomers, Quaker Steak& Lube, the Barton, Maynard & St. C. Fire Departments, St. C. Police Dept., the City of St. Clairsville for hanging the senior banners in town (Kathy Kaluger & the Electric Dept.), Harbor of Hope (Pastor Mark Smith and Pastor Dean Myers) for opening their church to host the football banquet, the students, staff, and administration of St. Clairsville Schools, and the St. C. fans.

Special thanks go to Jami Garan and Amanda Smith for their help with football camp, locker room decorating, and pregame feeds throughout the season and to all the parents who opened their homes for the team get-togethers and helped with preparing meals/decorating or donated items to keep our costs to a minimum. In addition, I would also like to thank everyone who helped with the end-of-the-year banquet held recently.

Lastly, thank you to the band members, cheerleaders, coaches, and players for creating memories to last a lifetime. Your accomplishments this season have made us very proud.

Goodluck to the 2012 Red Devil Football team, great things are expected from you!
