ROBERT L. TAGHON
1941-2011
Robert L.Taghon was the President of The High Ridge Chargers Youth Football and Cheer program. He served as an active leader for over 35 years. In that time Coach Tag dedicated his life to the Chargers program as a Coach and President. Due to his leadership and presence, the Chargers have won multiple National Championships, numerous Midwest Regional Championships, several Conference Championships, along with countless Bowl Games in both football and cheer. He is also a 2008 Youth Football Hall of Fame Inductee. On August 21st, 2011 Robert L. Taghon passed away in his sleep. We are all very saddened by this loss. He was our mentor, coach, leader, and most importanly our friend. Bob Taghon was a cherished member of the Chargers family as well as the Roger's Park community. Although he is gone, his legacy will live on in all of us . We are going to do exactly what he would want us to do which is play football and cheer to the best of our ability.
We love you and miss you...

UYF Program Statement
United Youth Football (UYF) requires 3 basic principles of all of its membership:
SAFETY, SPORTSMANSHIP, FULL PARTICIPATION.
UYF has 3 distinct divisions of play for all of it's National Tournament Membership. In each case Kids compete with kids of similar age and/or size.
UYF believes in building communities of strong leaders, by encouraging and rewarding strong academic achievement, teaching the lessons of dedication, honest effort, and fair play, special athletes emerge to become the leaders of our great country.
UYF and its volunteers and sponsors share the dream that every child who wants to play football or cheer has the opportunity despite financial constraints. This prompted the "Circle Of Giving Back" concept. Each child enrolled in the UYF program is encouraged to remember and thank their parents and the many volunteers who selflessly give of themselves to their communities in which they live in order to model and promote community involvement to tomorrows leaders.
