'REUNION OF CHAMPIONS'
The 2009 Allegany Gridiron Club is proud to present "THE REUNION OF CHAMPIONS'! This celebration will include and honor not only the former Allegany Football Players but also the coaches that led them to VICTORY! This will take place September 11, 2009 on the Downtown Cumberland Mall from 5 - 10 pm. There will be beer & wine, food, fun, plenty of Allegany Spirit, and the biggest reunion of all the young men that made Allegany Football what it is today. Did I forget to mention...........music? The 'Chinese Bandits' are going to be there!!! Did that help seal the deal? We hope so.......because since 1926 our teams have led us to 8 State Titles, 600 wins and numerous Regional Championships, and we are long overdue in honoring and celebrating these achievements!
We are also in the process of obtaining football footage on DVD, which will be available for sale. These games will be from the 1950's and up. A more accurate list will be given as soon as we obtain them. Sooooo keep checking in with us....
Make plans to be there for this annual event! How long has it been since you have been to a game? At 1:00 on Sept. 11, Allegany will host Grand Prairie High School from Canada. After the game the celebration will begin on the mall. I am betting that every person that reads this article will know someone or is related to someone on one of Allegany's Football Teams. Call them ...........email them! Let them know that we are looking for them. We are counting on their attendence at this 'REUNION OF CHAMPIONS.' Plan your vacation or a long weekend around this date.....come home to re-aquaint yourselves with that old team mate that you haven't seen for years.
