FRANKFORT, Ind. (WLFI) - The 2021 season has a special meaning for the Clinton Prairie s football seniors.
In an ideal world, the Gophers would suit up alongside their teammate Zach Caldwell for one final fall campaign. Instead, they will carry a flag onto the field bearing his number.
Caldwell died in a tragic accident in 2017 ( Correction updated from 2013). The CP Seniors will dedicate this season to playing in his honor. Every practice, every game we always know he s with us, said senior quarterback Drew Blacker. We just want to battle for him because we know that s what he would want us to do.
Maybe devil made Butch do it
By Butch Dale Friday, June 4, 2021 4:00 AM When I retired from the Sheriff s Department in 1997, it took me about a year to regain my health after having worked 80-90 hours a week with very little sleep for many years, and then I began teaching full-time again at Clinton Prairie High School. My little sister, Sarah, was an English teacher there, and it was great little school . . . plus it was just a ten minute drive from my home. At that time, I also worked as the director at the Darlington library and was responsible for all of the administrative duties, so I could work hours of my own choosing.
