Bill Messamore Remembers Booster Night
Each year a few days after school starts and before we really get into our difficult academic schedule, the entire Collegiate community gathers for a preview of our fall sports teams. It’s Booster Night, one of our many traditional gatherings here at WCS. Every team is undefeated and optimism runs high. The Booster Club volunteers have worked hard cleaning and fixing to make the football stadium, the grounds, the tennis courts and the gyms look their best. A silent auction precedes a hamburger feed where you can bid on choice parking places for games or even a signed helmet of this year’s seniors. After supper we gather in the gym for introductions of both the middle school and upper school teams. The coaches give us a preview of their upcoming season and then we get down to the business of the evening. First the volleyball team puts on an exhibition in the gym, then we head to the tennis courts to see what the new tennis players can do and finally we end the evening with a scrimmage by the football team at the stadium. Booster Night is a family affair; it’s a chance to reconnect with friends you haven’t seen all summer and bring everyone together supporting the Spartans.
