We have had two Snack Shack Friday nights so far this season. The good news is that sales have been brisk. The crowds have been quite large for the RMHS football's first two home games.There is certain to be at least two more home games on the schedule: October 8 and 15. With the MIAA playoff scheme, Reading is likely to have at least one home playoff game and perhaps more. We will not have confirmation of those until the week of the games in November.
The Rockets are ranked in preseason to be in the top 10 in EMass by the Boston Globe. When the sign up goes out for the next two games, please pick a time to help.
Shout out to Shack Shack rookies who have jumped in and worked their fingers to the bone over the first two weeks: Pat Calley (2 games); Phil Stewart (2 games); Jeanne Borawski; Kathy Kinney; Nadia Haddad. They had quite the baptism by fire with the crushing half time crowds seeking pretzels, popcorn, dogs and cheeseburgers. Another special acknowledgement to rookie Brenda Simblaris who had taken on the task of coordinating the volunteers.
Based on the size of the crowd, it is clear that the public is hungry to for high school football and sugary candy.
