Cleve In The Eve: Peoria High spends a day with Peyton Manning in equipment heaven
Every year, Riddell helps out high school football programs with equipment under its “Smarter Football” grant. Peyton Manning is Riddell’s brand ambassador, and takes part in these giveaways. Riddell chose 10 other teams to each receive a $10,000 grant for their program. But the company chose only one team — Peoria High School -- for the elaborate equipment gifts and visit with Manning. The company proclaimed the Lions its “Team of the Future.”
