In winning the football game that has become to be known as the Black & Blue Brawl the WHS Tigers earned the honor of being the first to get the traveling trophy. The trophy was established in memory of the beloved late Southern Local Coach Dan Saling who left us this past summer. Saling was 46 years old when he passed on. He was the head football coach at Southern who dedicated himself to his family and that included the whole student body at that school. He is now being remembered as the 12th Man on the Indians' team.
The trophy will forever go to the winner of the annual Route 39 football rivalry between Southern Local and Wellsville. The Tigers earned the privilege of being the first name on the plaque that accompanies the trophy by downing the Indians 20 - 0 this past Friday. It was a great game and a great honor.
Shown here is a beaming Tiger Coach Dave Skinner accepting the trophy from Nancy Saling, wife Dan Saling. With Skinner being a SLHS alumni it was extra special to him.
Congratulations to both teams for playing a good, clean, hard fought football game.
