David George, Sr.

Well I've played football since pee wee and I have so much passion for the game. I just can't quit! It's always been a dream of mine to own my own team. I've been involved with semi-pro for 8 years. I first started off with the Akron Jagz. I thought it was awesome to be apart of that team and to have a head coach that played in the NFL, ex-Browns running back Ricky Powers. From there, I moved on to a closer team, the Ohio Eagles, out of Canton. I played with them for two years. My time there was cut short by a merger the following year. Changing the name to the Massillon Bengals, we played at Paul Brown Stadium. I played for two years under head coach Brent Mason. After a couple years off, I returned with the Ohio Freedom for a year. I then retired for 5 years while my oldest son graduated high school. I came out of retirement and joined the Western Reserve Scourge, where at 38 years old. I had an absolute blast playing side by side with my son. At the end of the season, I felt like it was time to hang up the cleats and move to my next venture in amateur football and help the youth. Instilling good values and the respect for the game in them, I've dedicated my years to this game and have been married for 21 years. Now I'm ready to dedicate everything I have and everything I know to this team!
