Quite a few years ago, the original BLUE DEVILS played in and around Eastchester... just a bunch of guys who loved Football enough to play under any conditions. The team consisted of anyone available at the time, against anyone willing to say they were another team, wherever there was room to play. Uniforms were whatever they happened to be wearing at the time - Sunday suits included. One or two players managed to get what they felt were football pants, but it was hard to tell, by the amount of tape that held them together. If you were lucky enough to be husky, you had built-in padding.
At the start, there was just one helmet, and it was worn by the guy who carried the ball. Sooner or later, somebody managed to scare up another one, which must have caused some confusion.
In the fall of 1967, some of the old team members got together and talked about how great it would be to get a new team going. Pop Warner Football provided the answer. A national organization with standardized rules and regulations, combined with an established league in Southern Westchester County.
It was no easy Task getting started. Many hours were spent organizing, but with a substantial amount of support and cooperation, 1967 saw the re-birth of the BLUE DEVILS!
Now in our sixth Decade, we have grown from a program of some 40 children to well over 400 boys and girls participating in Football, Cheerleading and Lacrosse; our adult membership peeks at just over 100 members.
The BLUE DEVILS' reputation for achieving success on the field and in the classroom, is only surpassed by our attainments in developing proper competitive attitudes, sportsmanship, leadership and character.
