Successful coaching requires knowledge, dedication, good players and a good support system.

Beallsville High's Dave Caldwell's had all four of those during his career at his alma mater and that success this past season has once again earned him the right to coach the Ohio squad in the annual Rudy Mumley OVAC All-Star Charity Football Classic, slated for July 26th at Wheeling Island Stadium.

''I'm really pleased with the staff I've been able to put together over the years,'' Caldwell said. ''Most of them have been with me for a while and most have coached in this (all-star) game and several of them played for me.''
