The team played their first full season in 1923 and the September 15th date was chosen because it was the day of Clinton’s home football game against Chapman High School.
The home game celebrated the centennial anniversary of the team.
All generations of Red Devil football players were invited to come back and celebrate the 100-year milestone with each other.
