Chris Spielman: Excited About the Event
    “I love high school football,” said Spielman about his interest in supporting high school football in Central Ohio. “My father still is a high school football coach at 72 years old. He started coaching at Canton Central Catholic, then over to Canton McKinley, Canton Timken, then at Massillon Washington and now at Dr. Krop High School in Miami.”
    “I don’t know what my life would be without high school football. I’ve been in locker rooms and going to two-a-days since I was 5 years old. To be back involved with high school football, that means a lot to me.” He explained about his excitement for the event.
