Dear Saucon Valley Community,

We are the captains of the 2015 Saucon Valley Varsity Football Team.

On behalf of our entire team, we would like to thank you for your incredible support throughout this past season. To our coaches, parents, teachers and administration, your guidance was irreplaceable. To our fans, the cheerleaders, band and “Jungle,” thanks for cheering us on each and every week. To our local businesses, police and fire departments and EMS personnel, thanks for being behind us every step of the way.

Without your support and encouragement, we would not have been able to achieve all that we did. Coming into this season we had great expectations for ourselves, and we were able to achieve our goals. With your support, we were able to go above and beyond what we could have ever imagined.

As we got further into the season, more and more signs and decorations were put up throughout town. It was a great way to show your support and we really appreciate it.

Members of the 2015 Saucon Valley football team were recipients of a resolution passed in their honor Wednesday by Lower Saucon Township Council. Pictured holding the resolution are senior quarterback Zach Thatcher and senior running back Evan Culver.

Finally, the sendoff that you gave us to the State Semi-final game was a surreal moment that we will remember forever. Being able to provide such excitement to this town helped us understand that we were playing for something bigger than ourselves. Although the game did not turn out as we had hoped, you cheered for us until the final whistle and provided us with an equally grand greeting when we returned to town. That is the part that is the most special because through good times or bad we knew you all would be there every step of the way. We cannot thank you enough for that. We’re so proud to call Saucon Valley our home!

Go Panthers!

  • Awesome letter,
    It was so nice to see the community come together to support “our team”! Panthers football players really stepped up not only on the field, but off the field also. You put forth a positive impression of you generation, which is a “breath of fresh air”, showing people that there IS hope for our future generation!
