Dear Editor:

What a Ride!

The St. Clairsville boys’ basketball team recently completed one of its most successful seasons. The excitement and support from everyone in the community was incredible. One would not know by the number of red shirts in the Convocation Center or the Schottenstein Center that we were one the smallest schools in Division II. The “Red Devil Nation” traveled well and provided the energy and encouragement our team needed and deserved. On behalf of our administration, staff, students, players and coaches I say, “Thank You!”

This was a season where numerous records were broken by individuals as well as the team: OVAC champions, District Champions and Regional Champions for the first time in school history. The 2012 Red Devils have definitely raised the bar for future teams to strive.

Thanks for a Fun Ride!
