QUARTERBACK CLUB KICKS OFF ANOTHER GREAT YEAR
By SHEILA CHAPMAN
Mustang Quarterback Club
On any given Friday the football stands are filled with fans and family of the incredible Oologah mustang football team.
However, what is often unseen is the hours and effort that is made by the Oologah Mustang Quarterback Club to ensure that the team is supported and helped in all their endeavors. The Club meets every Tuesday night in the coaches' office to plan meals, fundraisers, major purchases and activities for the current year. Any and all football parents are encouraged to attend and be a part of the action.
The officers for the club are: President Rick Hanneman, Vice-President Don Arent, Secretary Sheila Chapman, Treasurer Cindy Dietz. There are countless other loyal members who are busy all the time working on various committees.
August is here and that means so is the greatest game of all time - FOOTBALL.
Not just any football - MUSTANG FOOTBALL.
We have several big events taking place in the coming weeks. Coach Schovanec will host the annual parents meeting on Monday, Aug. 11, 2008 at 6:30 pm in the lower elementary gym.
At this meeting parents will be asked to pay their player's Activity Fee. They will also have an opportunity to purchase player ads for the football program, sign up for committees and concession work, and purchase Mustang Football merchandise.
Saturday, Aug. 16 will be a busy day for the Mustangs and the Quarterback Club.
The Club is hosting a team-wide garage sale in the Vo Ag Building just north of the baseball field, as well as a pancake breakfast which will be held outside the garage sale.
The annual BLUE & GOLD scrimmage will be held that morning on the football field. Immediately following the scrimmage the boys move over to Mustang Tire and Lube for their annual Car Wash.
It will be a great day for the team and a great day full of opportunity for the quarterback club.
Any businesses wishing to purchase an ad in our upcoming program must contact the Quarterback club no later than Aug. 11. Your support is greatly appreciated.
We hope to see everyone in the community out at the breakfast and garage sale, then stick around for a peek at the 2008 football team.
The Oologah Mustangs will kick off their season in the always-highly-anticipated "Rogers County Bedlam" matchup against 6A Claremore on Thursday Sept. 4 in Oologah.
PHYSICALS SCHEDULED FOR O-T ATHLETES
