... Coach! Yes, that is what many a Stedmen were saying this past Friday. Thanks to the generosity of donors, it truly was T.G.I.F. The Gentlemen enjoyed their favorite Friday dinner feast amid a pandemic- Chick-Fil-A with plenty of sauces. It was the perfect way to end the school week as well as prepare for the weekend and the big game against FSU. But what do you after feasting on Chick-Fil-A and waiting for your first night game? Play your own game of footbal, flag football that isl! Playing with Covid rules, a game of flag football started at Ricci Fields, but what started as a friendly game quickly became a competitive showdown, pitting underclassmen against the upperclassmen.
Whether it was their resting on their laurels or maybe an increased drag coefficient due to all the Chick-Fil-A consumed earlier, the upperclassmen found themselves in the proverbial pickle, eventually losing the game and a fair amount of pride too. On the game, Michale Hendrickson, Steds underclassmen, avid runner, and resident Illinoisan, said,"The game was hard fought, and both teams brought a lot of energy thanks to all the Chick-Fil-A we ate beforehand. However, the underclassmen team had the edge because of our youth and speed, and that is what propelled us to victory.”
