Please keep Zach Deford and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Zach's mother Teresa Deford passed away on Thursday.

Teresa Deford was very involved with the Woodbridge Pop Warner program, the Woodbridge PTA, and would often help out our program by making sandwiches or getting food donated for friday nights. Mrs. Deford was not afraid to stand up for what she believed in, or hesitate to help out her friends. She led the protest to try to get Coach Preston Grace reinstated this year, often sitting in front of our school alone with her signs.

The Blue Raiders wish to extend our sympathies to Zach and the Deford family. To honor Teresa the Blue Raiders will be placing a TD sticker on their helmets to wear for the remainder of our season.

The Blue Raiders would like to welcome three new coaches to our staff.

Coach Eston Ennis is from Laurel, De. He graduated from Laurel High School in 2003. He was a 1st Team All-State Offensive Guard and a 2nd Team All-State Linebacker.

On September 1, 2009  Georgetown Police Officer Chad Spicer was killed in the line of duty in Georgetown. Officer Spicer was a loving father and an exceptional police officer. Chad started his law enforcement career here in Bridgeville in 2004. In June 2008 he was hired by Laurel. He was eventually hired  by his hometown, Georgetown . Chad is a graduate from Sussex Central High School. Officer Spicer will be deeply missed by his family, co-workers and friends. We send our deepest sympathies to his family and ask that everyone remember them in their prayers. And to Chad, we thank you for keeping our communities safe. You will be missed. 

Spicer is survived by a 3-year-old daughter named Aubrey. In lieu of flowers, the Georgetown Police Department has set up a fund for the benefit of Aubrey. Donations can be sent to the Chad Spicer Fund, c/o The Georgetown Police Department, 335 N. Race St., Georgetown, DE 19947.
