DEERFIELD TWP. - When the playoff-bound Kings Knights leave Friday for Division II second round playoffs, they'll take a special video with them.

It will have nothing to do with football - no game plays, strategies or film from Jackson High School, their opponents.

This tape will contain nothing but good wishes and encouragement from some of the teams' youngest fans.

For the past three days students at J.F. Burns Elementary School have been creating cheers for the team and then videotaping them, classroom by classroom.

Today, teachers and the support staff will add their own es to the compilation before it is finalized and given to the team Friday.

"It's kind of neat having the little kids look up to the big kids," said Matt Koenig, Kings' athletic director. "We need something positive to go out with. This is great for our community."

This is the second year the students and staff did something for the team. Last year the team received weekly banners signed by the students.
