The annual Jim Thorpe High School football Banquet was held today, Jan. 23, 2011 at Jim Thorpe Area High School. Many players were recognized for outstanding sportsmanship, leadership and dedication. We also honored Pearl Sheckler for her ten years of service to the Touchdown Club, five as president.
