Blue-Gold and all related activities are canceled
The 65th Annual DFRC Blue-Gold All-Star Football game and all related activities have been canceled.
The DFRC Blue-Gold All-Star Football Game showcases some of Delaware’s finest Hand-in-Hand buddies and high school students who participate as football players, cheerleaders, band members and school ambassadors.
“DFRC is proud of all our buddies and participants, and commends each one for the honor of being selected to be a part of this honored Delaware tradition,” said Jada Little, director of operations. “As a token of our appreciation, we have ordered jerseys for all the football players and shirts for each buddy, ambassador, cheerleader and band member. These items will be distributed as soon as we receive them and the stay-at-home restrictions are lifted. Even though we will not be playing the game this year, we want to acknowledge the rosters for our Blue and Gold football players and cheerleaders.”
DFRC had planned this year’s game to be the Blue-Gold Battle of the Blum Brothers, with Zeb Blum of A.I. duPont High School chosen as head coach for the Blue team, and brother Zach Blum of Middletown High School selected to lead the Gold team, facing off against each other. Both men have agreed to be back in those roles for the 2021 game. The Blue and Gold squads consist of senior players chosen from across Delaware as students of outstanding character who are also exceptional football players.
Also returning for next year are head cheerleading coaches Heather Blake of Conrad Schools of Science for the Blue squad and Middletown High School’s Katy Hoffecker for the Gold squad. The Blue and Gold squads include extraordinary senior cheerleaders selected to represent their schools.
The first DFRC Blue-Gold Game was played Aug. 25, 1956. Today, nearly 50 public, private, parochial, vo-tech and charter schools across the entire state are invited to participate, helping to spread DFRC’s message of diversity, acceptance and ABILITIES throughout their schools and communities.
“We want to thank everyone for your understanding and support as we continue to navigate through the difficulties of the current worldwide situation,” Little said. “Please stay safe and follow all CDC guidelines.”
