battleftbl 42 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Just interested to know what various schools in the area do after school on nights when they have home footballs games. Do the kids go home and eat and then report back? Do boosters feed the kids a pre game meal? Whats the norm in the area? Our kids meet in the field house after school and either A) Go to a restaurant together and eat, or B) have a meal catered to them from O'Charley's. They're also fed after practice on Thursday night by the booster club. The school district for us is so spread out, that its much easier to keep them at school than to let them go home and come back. It also makes it easier on the parents for the kids who're not old enough to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Richlands takes all players and coaches down to V&V for a good meal. Then they come back and go through their walkthroughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 GW is fed by the parents at the school, or at least to my knowledge they are. This is the way it is done for basketball too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 At Haysi all the kids leave school and go to subway or Pizza Plus usually. Most bring their food back to the fieldhouse and eat together. My JR year for home games we would eat and watch The Replacements Theres not a ton of community spirit at Haysi(at keast its not shown), sad but true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gym 10 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 We always went to the field house and then different places would feed us each week. I'm pretty sure that still holds true today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 GW is fed by the parents at the school, or at least to my knowledge they are. This is the way it is done for basketball too. Same at Marion, they usually have some steak from the grill, potatoes...etc... or they'll mix up a batch of chile. Team eats together in the cafeteria.

falconawesome 10 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 at abingdon we go to a different church every thursday for a meal and a little sermon, on gamedays we eat a meal provided by parents or by a local restaurant right after school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 This is off subject but related at the same time. One year(maybe my Jr year) a church in clintwood hosted a dinner on a thursday night (the night before thje Jamboree with Clintwood Ervinton Haysi and Pound). Clintwood Haysi and Ervinton(all of the DC schools) attended, there was good food, and a speaker(cant remember his name but he was a local guy who had a superbowl ring with the Steelers). The speaker spoke on sportsmanship and enjoying the game, he talked alot about how much playing meant to him. It was really neat to just sit down and enjoy a meal with everyone and reflect on how we werent enemies but represenatives of our schools and of the county.

He has a SB ring from his time with the Steelers I do believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
