Hubbard Little Eagles seeking community support

HUBBARD — The fallout following the theft of more than $17,000 from the Hubbard Little Eagles football team here has made it difficult for team leaders to find help covering the stolen funds.

Team supporters, however, have expressed their desire to assist in the squad's financial recovery.

According to police reports, Susan Hettrick, 37, of Buena Vista Road, acting as team treasurer, transferred more than $17,000 from the Hubbard Little Eagles’ savings account to her personal account over the last year.

Officials are not yet sure of the exact dollar amount missing from the team's account.

Hettrick has pleaded innocent to felony theft charges.

Team President Ed Williams called a meeting tonight to answer questions from the public, address any concerns. and possibly garner support from community members who may still be skeptical.
