ON A SMALL PATCH OF LAND NESTLED IN A VALLEY SURROUNDED BY A LITTLE VILLAGE KNOWN AS "DEVON" A TRADITION WAS BORN. 4 SCORES AND 7 YEARS AGO (47) A GROUP OF YOUNG MEN PARADED DOWN WHAT WE CALL "LAWMEN HILL" TO GIVE DEVON SOMETHING THEY NEVER HAD IN THEIR VILLAGE, FOOTBALL. WITH THE HELP OF THIS GAME, SPIRIT, PRIDE AND SACRIFICE WERE BORN. CHEERING BEGAN, PEP CLUBS WERE FORMED, THE BAND PLAYED, AND OPPONENTS WERE HUMBLED.
THE "BOYS OF DEVON" BECAME KNOWN. BLACK & GOLD BECAME FEARED. MILFORD HIGH NOW HAD COMPETITION, IN THEIR OWN BACK YARD!
ON THAT EXACT SAME GROUND, MANY WARRIORS HAVE COME AND GONE. MANY FANS HAVE CHEERED. MANY BANDS HAVE PLAYED. BUT THERE IS ONE THING THAT NEVER LEAVES,
