Fun Food And Prizes At Booster Club Event

Last Thursday the Soda Springs Booster Club kicked off the 2024-25 school year with a fun filled night that included a corn hole tournament, raffles, food and an introduction of the fall sports athletes and their coaches.  The night started with the introduction of each team that included the football, volleyball, boys and girls cross country, cheer and dance teams.  The crowd cheered as over seventy five student athletes lined the side of the football field.  

Next up was the corn hole tournament.  As the time came to begin there were eleven teams signed up for the event.  Rather than give one team a first round bye the event’s MC Ryan Carpenter, and Ben Jacobson reluctantly formed a team giving the tournament an even number of teams.  Before even making it through a single game Ben Jacobson was called to his job at the hospital and was replaced by secret weapon Lily Davis.  Lily and Ryan would get on a roll and even when Ben returned from the hospital all parties agreed that they should stick with Lily through the remainder of the tournament.  The decision would pay off as Ryan and Lily would make it to the championship match facing off against the strong team of Brandon Green and Chris Gonzales.  The sharpshoot team of Lily and Ryan would finish unscathed taking home the top prize of $200.  Brandon and Chris would take second and win $100.  Rounding out the top three teams was Braxten Jacobsen and Ryker Tingey placing third and winning $60.  The night finished with raffle drawings for a wide variety of donated prizes from local businesses.

Money raised from the night's events will go to the booster club who hopes to be able to raise enough money to install a permanent restroom facility located near the football field.  Currently the only restrooms available for the outdoor sporting events are portable toilets.

The Booster Club which has just recently been brought back to Soda Springs is working hard to continue to make the high school experience an enjoyable and memorable one for the students.  They meet regularly to brainstorm and plan activities that will benefit the whole community.  The current Booster Club consists of President Paulette Ericsson, Vice President Ora Eisenbarth, Treasurer Jyll Kern, and Secretary Ashley Ozburn.  If you would like to support the Booster Club or the students contact one of the presidency members and they will let you know how you can contribute.
