Coosa Valley Technical College and Rome News Tribune Host Players of the Week Football Banquet

Coosa Valley Technical College and Rome News Tribune are partnering together to host the “Players of the Week Football Banquet.”  The event will take place on December 9, 2008, at 6:45 p.m. in the Conference Center of Building H on the Floyd County Campus of Coosa Valley Technical College.

The guest speaker for the evening will be NFL Hall of Fame player and coach Dan Reeves.  Reeves presently announces satellite radio broadcasts for the NFL on Westwood One Radio and hosts his own radio show on AM 680, “The Fan.”

During the high school football season, the Rome News Tribune honored players of the week.  Of those who received that recognition, two will be selected to receive the award for “Most Outstanding Offensive and Defensive Single Game Performances of the Year.”

Jim Alred and Ross McDuffie, co-hosts of Gridiron Central, will present a special edition of Gridiron Central with video highlights of the honored players.

Ticket prices are $25.00 and that price includes dinner and banquet admission.  A limited number of $45.00 tickets are available for the banquet, dinner, and an exclusive, 50 minute private session with Dan Reeves for autographs, pictures, and mingling with the Hall of Fame coach and player.

Regular admission tickets are on sale at the Rome News Tribune Classified Ad Department and at the front desk of Coosa Valley Technical College’s Floyd County Campus.  The tickets for meeting Dan Reeves are only available by contacting Mark Layne at 706-295-6955.  Acceptable forms of payment are cash and checks made payable to the Coosa Valley Technical College Foundation.  All proceeds from this event will benefit the Big Brothers Big Sisters of N.W.G.A. Mountains.
