Honorary Captains
The Ashland Arrow Football Alumni Association was
initiated by Denny Humrichouser along with Head Coach
Scott Valentine in the summer of 2002. By the beginning
of the 2002 football season the organization had formed
and initiated the honorary captain program for the
home games. This program introduced four past AHS
players prior to the beginning of each game. Information
on their football experience and life successes was
placed in each home football game program. These players
were also invited to make a small speech at the Thursday
night team dinner prior to each home game, which centered
on their Arrow football and live experiences
by
the end of the 1st year 20 players had been recognized.
On April 24th of 2002 past player and attorney Jack
Vanosdall helped incorporate this organization.
At the second annual meeting this mission statement
was developed: " To maintain and help nurture
the tradition of Arrow Football, The Ashland Arrow
Football Alumni Association recognizes past football
alumni and staff and promotes the motivation and recognition
of today's players." The following officers were
elected and have maintained their positions for the
past four years: Denny Smalley (67) President, Noel
Watson (67) Vice President, Mike Brubaker (66) Treasurer,
and Dusty Sloan (95) Secretary. These officers, with
the help of Program Director Jon Shoemaker and other
members during these past four seasons, have recognized
over seventy past players and coaching staff from
the last 50 years. Other goals accomplished have been
the initiation of a player scholarship program and
starting a film library of past Arrows Football games.
All past players, coaches and staff are included
in this cost-free organization. The program provides
honorary football captains with specially designed
shirts and hats that are financed through donations.
