The 30th Great 8 Winter Games was held on Saturday, February 15th in Florence, Iron Mountain, Kingsford, Niagara, and Norway. The area 4th-8th grade students had the opportunity to participate in individual and team sports. It was a wonderful experience for our youth with memories that will last a lifetime.
I would like to thank the Florence County School District for its continued support as well as Christy Larson, superintendent. I would also like to thank the following area sponsor that has helped tremendously in offsetting the cost of providing this positive experience to the youth in our area and have helped make this annual event a huge success: Florence Elementary School PTO.
In addition, I would like to express my gratitude to the many coaches and volunteers that dedicated numerous hours helping our youth enjoy the Great 8 experience:
Morgan Tomczak, Jay Walstrom , Bri Knox, David Murrow, Andrea Millan, Ashlyn & Miley VanDenHeuvel, Felicia Horton, Bill Witynski, Chris Secrist, Brandon Jerue, Dwaine Drewa, Allison Wood, Jaylinn Kappes, Sean Cassidy, Lily Soderberg, Gavin Strong (Kingsford), Kevin Guiliani (Crystal Falls), Gabe Quevedo (Crystal Falls), Matthew Showers (Crystal Falls), Monica Chartier, Nick/Carmie/Sienna Schmoll, Addy Franz, Melissa Faccio and Dustin Williams, Bryan Bomberg, Richelle Jochem, Vanessa Schimmelpfenning, Holly Krueger, Tracy Cassidy & the National Honor Society
