Grateful for support

To the Journal editor:

The Ishpeming Hematites football team recently completed a very successful 2014 season by once again traveling to Ford Field for the MHSAA Division 7 State Finals.

On behalf of the Ishpeming School District and the varsity football team, we would like to thank everyone who supported the trip downstate. Your generosity through donations was greatly appreciated. It is always amazing to see the community get behind the efforts of our student athletes.

Many thanks also go to those volunteers who helped clear the football field of snow for our two home playoff games, and to the Ishpeming Volunteer Fire Department who swept the snow off the yard lines throughout the second playoff game.

The pride of the community was truly evident on both of these occasions and also on the return trip home as the caravan of fire trucks and police cars escorted us through town to cheering fans along the route.

And, thanks also goes to the community of Munising for supporting us every year. This year, the caravan combined both the Munising Mustangs and our Ishpeming Hematites football teams as they were escorted from Highway 117 through Munising.

We are all proud of our football team, our coaching staff and our community. Hopefully, we can do it again.

TERRY?ROBERTS
