Booster Club Starts on Practice Jerseys

The Booster Club voted Tuesday to put this year's cider and doughnut proceeds toward new practice jerseys, the old ones being, in Carol Ainsworth's words, “more patch than jersey.”

The club will sell cider and doughnuts at every home practice scrimmage and at the Blue-Gray Game.
