The Charles County Commissioners recently joined in the celebrations with the mighty Wolverines football team of Westlake High School as they claimed the 2008 Class 3A State Football Championship over the Wilde Lake Wildecats in a Dec. 4 game at M & T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
Coach Dominic Zacarelli praised his team for their diligent work ethics and their ability to overcome problems to become true champions. “You all are fine, intelligent young men,” Zacarelli told them.
Commissioner President Wayne Cooper told the group of gridiron greats that he knew they were tough because of the team’s name. “A wolverine is a ferocious animal that will put up a fight if you mess with them. That fighting spirit on the field led you to the championship,” Cooper added.
Each team member, the coaches, and staff were given a printed citation from the commissioners, and a 350th anniversary souvenir coin.
