"Living again the old days suggests the procedure necessary to its revival. Coaldale football, an integral part of the town, must not be permitted to die." -- James H. "Casey" Gildea

"A story of Coaldale would not be complete without delving back into its football history, because football gave to Coaldale more advertising than any other enterprise, and because the people of Coaldale point with pride to the achievements of their teams, and claim football reflects credit on town loyalty, and attests to the fair dealing of all associated in any way with the game." -- James H. "Casey" Gildea
