Corcoran Football Team Helps Cleanup Neighborhood

Football players from Corcoran High School’s junior varsity and varsity squads helped clean up Elmwood Park last week as part of the Adopt-A-Park program. The young men, along with coaches Jesse Long, Kevin Ryan and Mike Speir, raked leaves, cut down old brush and removed debris from the park.

“It’s great to give back to the community,’’ Jesse Long said. Organizer Paul Grace and volunteers Larry Rutledge and Mike and Gabe Smolyncki also helped spruce up the park. After they finished their work, the players were treated to a pizza party.
