TRIUMPH<br />
Continued from page 1<br />
“This trophy will never see the inside of a<br />
police station!”<br />
<strong>Groveport</strong> Police Lt. Josh Short’s sly<br />
reply to this was, “We understand the fire<br />
department is limited in their abilities so<br />
we took it easy on them today.”<br />
Added Short, “In all seriousness, despite<br />
the outcome for the police, the real winners<br />
today are the food pantry and the community.”<br />
Dildine thanked the <strong>Groveport</strong><br />
Recreation Department for its help in<br />
organizing the game and added, “This was<br />
a fun competition and good for the community<br />
and food pantry. We look forward to<br />
playing again next year.”<br />
