Seniors Cole Fenice, Jack Dellose Named to Blue/Gold All Star Football Roster
The Blue-Gold All Star Football Game Committee of the Delaware Foundation Reaching Citizens with Intellectual Disabilities recently announced the players for the 68th Annual All Star Football Game. Archmere seniors Cole Fenice and Jack Dellose were included in this year’s roster. Cole and Jack were nominated by their coaches and selected based on their character and football ability. The game will feature 72 of Delaware’s top seniors playing their final high school game at 7 p.m. June 21 at Delaware Stadium.
The Blue-Gold High School participants play a vital role in the success the DFRC Blue-Gold program and in the DFRC mission to enrich the lives of Delawareans with intellectual disabilities. Many of the students take part in a Hand-in-Hand program where they are matched with children and young adults, the Buddies, to share their Blue-Gold experience leading up to Game Day. Each month leading up to Game Day, there are statewide organized events - a dance party, a bowling outing, a picnic - and the Participants and Buddies often get together between events to see a movie, go to a school event, or just talk and hang out.
The 68th DFRC Blue-Gold All Star Football Game will take place on Saturday, June 21, 2024 at Delaware Stadium, with kickoff at 7 p.m. The game and all of the events surrounding it benefit the Delaware Foundation Reaching Citizens with intellectual disabilities. Over the years, the Blue-Gold game has raised more than $6.4 million.
Opening ceremonies will begin at 6. For more tickets and more information, go to www.dfrc.org or call (302) 454-2730.
