Players, coaches, parents and friends of the Steinbach Regional football program returned to the SRSS gym last Thursday for the first time since December of 2019 and enjoyed an evening to celebrate the team’s 12th season and honor the football teams past.
“It felt great to have everyone back in the same place to honor the current players, our Ring of Honor and Hall of Fame players/coaches,” noted Jamie Peters who was instrumental in starting the SRSS football program in 2010 and helped put a junior varsity team on the field in 2017. “It was great to deliver messages about the program. The passion and the drive. To inspire the players to be better and work on and off the field for 365.”
