Let me just tell you how much we enjoy hosting one of the Varsity Football Team dinners each year. We have been fortunate that Chris started on Varsity as a Sophmore, so we have had 3 AWESOME years to feed the team. We have always hosted the dinner right before Halloween (because we go all out with the decorations), and I have always made my (traditional Halloween dinner) homemade chili for the boys.
 |
| We were SOOOOOOOO honored that Principal Allison, VP Alan Williams and VP Julius Lockett joined AD Jason Patterson and the coaching staff at our dinner this year! |
This year, I cooked for 2 days and made 61 POUNDS of homemade chili!!! The MENU: Chili served in sourdough bread bowls, Caeser Salad, HUGE baked potatos with ALL the fixings and cake for dessert.

| Prince (one of my favorite guys) and Chris LOVING the dinner! |
A cool side story... as I was leaving the grocery store with the bread bowls the morning of the dinner, I was stopped by an alumni football player who said, "Mrs. Locher, are you hosting the "Chili Dinner" for the team tonight?" I didn't remember the player, but he sure remembered (and gushed) over the dinner. Moments like that make it ALL worth it!!!
 |
| These guys knew to show up early... among my favorites (sorry, but after all these years, I do have favorites, #50 Eddie Pietrenka... what a GREAT kid!) |
It was a wonderful night with a team of boys that I would host ANYTIME... so respectful... so down to earth... our OGHS VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM!!!
