Spaghetti on the Ready

by Dan Lux & Brandon Mansfield


As the homecoming parade drew to an end, each class float would unload and people would enthusiastically get off. Some would take the decorations off the float and others would group together to talk. As for the fall athletes, they would scope out one another and group together for the annual spaghetti dinner. This spaghetti dinner is served to just the athletes that are participating in fall sports to take in energy for playing the next day. As the teams came together they would depart to the back entrance to the school for sign in. As they went through the line they would grab a plate and one after another parent would give you spaghetti, followed by the sauce (optional), along with a bread stick or two, a handful of salad (optional). For dessert you would get an ice cream sandwich and a choice of drinks that they would choose from, which includes: water, chocolate milk, whole and 2% milk or orange juice.
As they got their food they would sit down with their teams and talk about things like the game that would be held the next day and anything else they had in common. The coaches, assistant coaches, and team managers were allowed to eat as well and they potentially sat with the other coaches. When the teams were done eating they headed outside to the bonfire. If the bonfire didn’t hold their interest they took their separate ways and as for the field hockey team, they would gather for their annual team scavenger hunt.
