The Miami Trace Panthers football team will be making the long trip up into Stark County on Sept. 20 to play the Marlington Dukes.

Marlington is relatively near to Akron and Canton in the northeast quadrant of Ohio.

In order to help purchase new equipment and help with the expenses, the football team conducted a fundraiser by selling mulch.

On April 13, some of the team members worked spreading mulch at the Jeffersonville cemetery, sprucing up for spring time.
