Thursday night saw the Italy JV Gladiators duel the Chilton Pirates at Willis Field in Italy. At halftime, the Italy Athletic Booster Club drew Gregg Richards’ name as the recipient of the vintage jersey give-away (a jersey used in 2001). Mr. Richards was not on hand to receive his new “old” jersey but his granddaughters Megan and Alyssa Richards were happy to receive the gift. Ivan Roldan, Italy Varsity Football player, was on hand to present it to the girls.

Next Friday night when the Italy Gladiators stand up to Palmer at home, one more jersey will be given away. Hurry and purchase your raffle tickets! Call Karen Mathiowetz at 972-483-7434. The drawing will occur at halftime on Friday, September 12.
