On Sunday, November 6, during the Midget Championship game, a Lakewood Lancer player, Donnovan Hill, suffered a horrible injuury. While defending the goal line, Donnovan suffered an injury to his neck. He was rushed by ambulance to Mission Hospital. 

We are happy to report that his neck is not broken, and that doctors have been able to put in a spacer in his neck to allow space for the nerves and spinal column to heal. While the operation was a success, the long term prognosis for Donnovan is still unclear. Regardless of the outcome, he and his family will be facing a long road ahead of them. 

We are asking that all SV families offer up a daily prayer for Donnovan and his family during this trying time. 

The Orange Empire Conference has set up a fund for Donnovan and his family. As you can imagine, the costs for his care will be enormous. 

If you would like to contribute, please send to:
Donnovan Hill
C/O Orange Empire Conference
PO Box 7652
Huntington Beach, CA 92615-7652 

A website has been established where Donnovan's progress will be reported.  The site offers updates, photos, and a guestbook where anyone can leave Donnovan and his family a message.

A HUGE thanks to all SV teams for their continued support of Donnovan.  Many teams have held fundraisers and have donated thousands of dollars to help Donnovan.  The generosity of the SV kids and parents is a true testament to the awesome spirit and pride of our SV family.

We are proud to announce that our SV Midget Wolverines, lead by Head Coach Russ Perkins, won the Orange Bowl over the Lakewood Black Lancers on November 5th. 

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR WOLVERINES!!!!
