As the league starts it's 45th season, we do so with sadness, as the founder of the Southwest Midget Football League, Ron "PaPa" Schaper passed away on Febuary 14, 2010.
"PaPa" Schaper was an inspiration to all of us in the league. During his 44 years as President, Coach, and friend, his love for the game, the players, and the league, is something that we all have and will always learn from and remember. He always wanted to make this program about the kids, and it's success through the years is because of his dedication and leadership.
He will be truly missed, but will always be remembered for what he accomplished.
