The Wellsville High School Touchdown Club meets regularly on the fourth Sunday evening of the month at 7 P.M. at DaLonzos on Main Street. Members of this organization's only goal is to raise funds to support Wellsville's football program. The TD Club president this year is Doug Elliott.
The TD Club met last Sunday, April 23, with only five people in attendance. It's sad not to see more parents, fans and supporters not showing up to lend a hand. Everything this club does is for the kids. Their efforts pay for things the school can't afford. Over the years their help has been a tremendous assistance keeping the football program going.
Plans were discussed last Sunday for future events. There will be a tag day on Saturday, May 29. A hot dog sale will be held at Giant Eagle's Calcutta location at a date yet to be determined. There will be a benefit spaghetti dinner August 13 at DaLonzos.
Coach Dave Skinner reported that there are 15 players participating in the off-season weight lifting program. All participants are given a gray WHS football t-shirt. An orange t-shirt was recently awarded to 12 of the 15 lifters for reaching goals set for them to achieve. Top goal achievers will be awarded a very nice black t-shirt at the end of this year's program. All these t-shirts were made possible through the efforts of the TD Club.
Two a day practices are scheduled to begin August 5. Coach Skinner advises this years scrimmage schedule is still be worked out. It sounds like a tough one that will give the players a lot of valuable experience getting ready for the season. Opening game is set for Thursday, August 26 at 7 P.M. at Toronto.
Next meeting is scheduled for Sunday, May 23 at 7 o'clock at DaLonzos. Please join us and lend your support for these athletes.
Shown above is a magnetic Tiger paw emblem the TD Club is selling. These large, attractive emblems are only $10 each. They are available now. You can get yours by calling 330-532-5958 or 330-362-0169 or any member of the TD Club. They won't harm your car's paint finish. It's a good way to show your Tiger pride.

Hey Nib,
They can also find the car magnets at Cin-Liss Sun!
It is really too bad that our boosters club does not have more people involved. It is the same way with basketball. All of our sports programs are successful and the kids deserve more community support. I don't know how this can be corrected. Anyone have any answers ??
Cin-Liss Sun is located on Main St. Thanks Diane. You're always there for the kids.
