Chester Clippers Football Banquet

Chester Clippers Football Team
John Biggins 1954 Graduate & 2008 Chester Football Hall of Fame Inductee with Coach Chuck Crews

The Chester Football Banquet took place this afternoon at Chester High School. Last time I was with the team was at the All Delco Banquet in November. They were one of my first stories. A matter of fact, they top the record on the blog as the most viewed.

The banquet was attended by Mayor Butler, Superintendent Dr. Wells, Principal Dr. Hammond, Associate Principal Hargrow, Coaches, teachers, parents, the community, and past and present members of the Clipper team. Also represented was Local Union 413 which donated team jackets. The Keynote Speaker was Brian Dozier, former football player at Chester High School and Penn State University graduate. His speech focused on the student athletes in the room. His speech covered these four topics: (1.) Proceed as if someone is watching; (2.) Listen to a lot and take in what is relevant; (3.) Become and remain coachable; and (4.) Education. He also spoke about a mentoring program that is being considered involving former football players and current players. Current players would benefit from the experiences of players who previously played for the district.

These Clippers football players were recognized:

Outstanding Players: Anthony Davis, Evon Hyles, and Da’Ryn Harris

Academic Achievement: Sophomore Kameron Staples, Junior Brandon Patterson, and Senior Evon Hyles

Most Improved: Darrell Nicholson 

Iron Men: Da'Ryn Harris and Devon Emmertz

Clipper Spirit Award: Martin Turner

Defensive MVP: Evon Hyles

Offensive MVP: Anthony Davis

Team MVP: Da’Ryn Harris

4 Year Participant Awards: Da’Ryn Harris, Evon Hyles, Shaun Willis, Anthony Davis, and Shaquille Bradshaw
