A 79-Year-Old Dublin Football Story
Yesterday was Homecoming at Coffman, which seems like a pretty good excuse to go back to where Dublin football actually started.
The first Dublin High School football team took the field in 1947. And there’s a great little story about the first touchdown Dublin ever scored.
Brothers Dick and Jerry Termeer were both on that first team. Dick was a freshman and Jerry was a senior. During Dublin’s first football game, Dick got into the game at quarterback on the final play. He handed the ball to his older brother, who ran it in for the first touchdown in Dublin football history.
Of course, none of this happened at Coffman. The high school was still on Bridge Street back then. The school we now know as Coffman didn’t open on Coffman Road until 1973, and it was simply Dublin High School until Scioto opened in 1995.
The football field moved too. Dublin played at what is now the Emerald Campus site before the current stadium opened at Coffman in 1987.
So yesterday’s Homecoming looked quite a bit different from anything those first Dublin football players would have recognized. But 79 years later, the Shamrockocks are still playing football.

What’s Going On Along Shier Rings Road?
You may have seen the City posting about a new shared-use path along Shier Rings Road this week. On Friday, Dublin and Washington Township officials were joined by representatives from COTA and MORPC for a groundbreaking ceremony for the project.
So what exactly are they celebrating?
It’s about a third of a mile of new path along Shier Rings between Eiterman and Cosgray roads, connecting existing paths on either end. Washington Township claims the new connection will link nearly 7,000 Dublin and Township residents to a broader network of neighborhoods, parks and COTA’s newly extended Line 1.
The project will cost about $700,000. More than $500,000 — or over 70% of the cost — is coming from LinkUS.
If that name sounds familiar, LinkUS is the regional transportation program funded by a 0.5% sales tax increase that took effect in April 2025. The increase doubled the COTA sales tax from 0.5% to 1%.
The additional money is being used for expanded public transportation as well as sidewalks, bike paths and trails like these throughout Central Ohio.

A Dublin Grad Just Hit #1 on Netflix
If you’ve opened Netflix in the last couple of days, you may have noticed a movie called The Seemingly Perfect Family sitting at the top of the list.
Well, it was directed by a Dublin High School graduate.
Lisa France graduated from Dublin High School in 1985, and she was actually back in Dublin recently to be inducted into the Dublin City Schools Hall of Fame and talk with students at Emerald Campus.
A few days later, her movie reached #1 on Netflix in the U.S.
And here’s what makes that even more impressive. This wasn’t some giant Hollywood production. France says they made the entire movie in just 12 days for well under $1 million — with real planes, real stunts, real actors and even a real baby.
The Seemingly Perfect Family follows an 18-year-old who takes a job as an au pair for a wealthy family, only to discover there’s quite a bit more going on inside the house.
