JEROMESVILLE — The Hillsdale community made its pride impossible to miss this week.
From families and teachers to alumni and longtime fans, Falcon Nation filled our inbox with words of encouragement ahead of Saturday’s championship game.
Below are the messages you sent to the team as they prepare for their return to Canton — this time with a shot at redemption and a Division VII state title.
May these notes remind the Falcons how much Jeromesville and the surrounding community are behind them.

Playing two straight years in the state championship does not happen by accident. We have seen firsthand the countless hours of hard work you have put in over the years. You belong here, and you have earned every second of this. From your youth football days to the varsity level, you boys have grown up together and formed a true brotherhood. Your team chemistry is unmatched!
This week, play for each other. Have fun and soak in every moment, because you are living the dream you once imagined as little boys. We love you all more than words can say, and we are beyond proud of you, no matter what!

Words cannot express the pride and love I have for these boys, this school, and the entire Hillsdale community. This is where team is family, where we celebrate each other’s accomplishments, and where some of our very favorite lifelong memories have been forged. Do your best, leave it all on the field and know that, at the end of the day, you have made a big positive impact on so many. And THIS is just the beginning of your story….💙💛

I remember when Hillsdale was known for its wonderful band and the greatest band director of all time Steve Taylor. Our football teams record was something like 0-10…but the community never stopped coming to games. My son’s team for four years was a true beginning of a turn around when Trevor Cline was just a quarterback leading the team to the playoffs but not quite making the championship game. The journey continued as Trevor became the coach and a new stadium was built. Trevor managed a team to the championship against a very difficult team to beat…Marion Local … a football team with the longest victory streak in the nation. For the second year in a row you are having a championship game at the hall of fame with an opportunity to finally bring it home (and Marion Local is out). This is your chance to finish the journey and you have all my hopes and prayers. Win…and win with class and humility like the Hillsdale Community emulates. The Hillsdale community deserves it. Let’s go Falcons!

Play your best boys. Be kind. And have fun. You can not fail, because just getting this far is a win. In 60 years you are the first Hillsdale team to make it here. You are great. Go Falcons!
