We're excited that Cie Grant, former Ohio State Buckeye and NFL player, will be our special guest speaker at this year's Dover–Phila Sportsmanship Banquet!

One of the greatest rivalries in Ohio high school football is about more than what happens on the field. It's about tradition, respect, community, and the lessons that last long after the final whistle.

Join us as we bring Dover and New Philadelphia together for a morning of inspiration, sportsmanship, and celebration of this incredible rivalry!

📅 Saturday, October 17th
📍 Buckeye Career Center
⏰ Doors open at 8:00 AM

🎟️ Tickets are still available! Don't miss your chance to hear from a former Buckeye and NFL player while celebrating the tradition that makes Dover–Phila so special!
