The Dragons have partnered with JD’s Realty and Auction, which will sponsor the program and host promotions during each home football game this season.
Owner Jason Deel said he was eager to partner with the Dragons after the school’s football booster club created new sponsorship packages.
“I met with the booster club, and we were looking for some things because we were finishing up the quarter,” Deel said.
“What better way to invest in the community than to invest in young people?
“I’m a football fan, and I go to the games in Clinton,” Deel said. “The community has been very good to us since we moved our business here. But it’s about more than just football.”
Clinton second-year Coach Jake Dawson welcomed the partnership with Deel and his company.
“Jason Deel wants to be a part of everything that we do,” Dawson said. “I’m extremely grateful for that. We’re extremely grateful to him for all that he’s done and for all that he will continue to do.
“I’m fired up about it, and this was a no-brainer for us. We have good people in the community.”
