On behalf of the Lowell Youth Football and Cheer League we would like to express our sincere gratitude towards coach Noel Dean for his years of coaching and service to the great community of Lowell. Coach Dean spent time teaching our young players not only about the game of football but also about building their character. He involved his high school team in many of our youth camps and activities. He cultivated leaders on and off the field. A tradition we intend to carry on from our little arrows on up. Thank you, Coach Dean, for the lessons you taught us, the traditions you created, for your dedication to our football program, your passion for helping others and for making so many wonderful memories for our awesome town of Lowell!

Go Red Arrows!
