decbell1 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 November 17, 2013 12:00 am • Mary Wilds Times Correspondent CEDAR LAKE | The Hanover School Board accepted a donation from the family of John Willems and the Rick Larsen Wrestling Club. The $9,300 donation is meant for the Hanover Central High School football program. The money was raised during the annual John Willems Memorial 5K and Run around the Lake. The run has been held annually the past two years in memory of John Willems, of Cedar Lake. Willems had been an assistant coach for Hanover Central wrestling. Willems died in 2011 while at a wrestling tournament in West Lafayette. http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/cedar-lake/donation-accepted-for-hanover-football-program/article_988fd62a-c96e-5f28-b4f4-43dde14bee6a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbomb Turk Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 What a great gesture. As far as the thinking it should've gone to wrestling, for those who aren't aware, the Hanover football program is brand new and I think will begin a varsity schedule next season , This donation will really help this brand new program. What a tight knit community who don't hesitate to help each other. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
