Mike
Miller, the unofficial "Mayor of Deep Creek" was remembered during a special
ceremony during the Great Bridge game. A Virginian oak tree was planted to
the right of the scoreboard that included a memorial plaque. At the
end of the first quarter the family and friends gathered by the tree to remember
Mike. The head coach of Great Bridge was on hand to give the Miller family
a card signed by the entire Wildcat team. Mr. Hardee then presented
the family a game ball from the B. T. Washington game in which we won 42-0.
Up next was Bennie Polk who presented the family with a picture of Mike that
was taken at last years Kellam game. Larry Baldwin did an outstanding
job from the press box remembering Mike and asked the fans to remember him
in a moment of silence. Mike will be missed by the good people of Deep
Creek but I am sure he will never be forgotten.
