After a GREAT VICTORY the team was invited to our house for a team party! First order of business was feeding the hungry group!
Eating Food consumed: fifteen pounds of hamburger made into sloppy joes, a gallon of potato salad, 4 big bags of potato chips, apples & oranges, sixty gatorades, and a sheet cake. (Note to self for next time - 10 packages of buns - 9 was hardly enough!)
And then......games! Prizes were on the line. When Coach Showalter showed the prizes they were competitively engaged - USA gear (shorts, shirts, sweatpants), City High shirts, and Nike socks. Game points were kept through out the evening and the higher the score the earlier the chance to get the best stuff.
1) "Minute it to Win it" Games
First on the docket was a version of "minute it to win it". 3 teams of 6 competed in six different activities. Each player had to do one activity. They were such good sports!

| Score cards for these games. |
Cup Stacking Using one hand stack and unstack the cups in one minute.
Nose Dive Using only your nose (with vaseline) transfer 5 cotton balls from one bowl to the other.
Nutcracker Using a candy cane stack 6 nuts on top of each other.
Face the (Gingerbread) Cookie Using face muscles only (no hands) move the cookie from your forehead to your mouth.
Stack the Dice With one hand stack 6 dice on the popsicle stick in your mouth.
Snowball Toss Using one hand (and one at a time) toss the mini marshmallows through the wreath into the bucket. Most in the bucket wins.
2) Card/Dice Games Now each player will be on his own to gain points. Each group rotated through three games and scores were tallied.
