Cardington football opens year with pie auction

By EVELYN LONG

The Cardington-Lincoln High School Pirate foot­ball team kicked off the 2012–13 year with the tra­di­tional pie auc­tion held Sat­ur­day, Aug. 4, in the high school cafeteria.

A total of $3,902 was gen­er­ated from the sale of 37 pies. Each pie was pre­sented by a mem­ber of the foot­ball team. Auc­tion­eer was Wes Wigton.

The Pis­ta­chio pie of Crew Cochran sold for a record $580 and was pur­chased by his fam­ily. The money derived from the pie auc­tion will fund the pur­chase of equip­ment, uni­forms, video equip­ment, etc. for the team.

Each player was intro­duced by var­sity coach Bran­don Dodrill. The cheer­lead­ers who later held their own pie auc­tion, con­firmed each sale with the buyer.

Pur­chas­ing pies were Kevin Dever (2), Lori Bright, Don and LaV­erna White (2), Natalie and Joe Har­ris (4), Dale Bar­nett, Jaimie Speck, Elsie Deck­ling, Jeff Jor­dan, Maceyko Tax (3), Kevin Fri­d­ley, Jen­nifer Plum­mer, Bill Dornon, Angie Jenk­ins, Marla Greenawalt, John and Lori Lev­ings, Mar­sha Miller, Rick Davis, Kim Bel­lamy, Collin Alwood, Eric and Melissa Dis­ter­dick, Randy Brown, Kim Bartlett, Sandy Myn­hier, Brian Cas­tle, Sherry Gra­ham, Jeff Sher­ris, and Dawn and Troy Ruehrmund.

Play­ers intro­duced by Coach Dodrill, each with a pie to be sold, were Andy Dever, Devin Brooks, Pey­ton Bar­nett, Chase Deck­ling, Jor­dan Brew­ster, Jarred Fraizer, Char­lie Miller, Alex Taha, Jer­rod Reeves, Gar­rett Boller, Devan Dis­ter­dick and Trevor Cooper, seniors;

Devin Brooks, Noah Zier­den, Andy Plum­mer, Tyler Dornon, Colton Jenk­ins, Crew Cochran, Josh Kill, Travis Boyd and Devon Bartlett, juniors;

Dustin Blan­ton, Thomas Jor­dan, Nate Howard, Eric Collins, Austin Carte and Cole Black­well, sopho­mores and Jason Beck, Devin Fri­d­ley, D J Greenawalt, John Lev­ings, Chris Honaker, Jer­rod Fair, Jake Foor, Tyler Cas­tle, Brock Shade and Jared Roof, fresh­men. Cade Ruehrmund was intro­duced as the ball boy.

Coach Dodrill intro­duced his coach­ing staff: Allen Adams, Troy Ruehrmund, Char­lie Miller, and Cur­tis Adams. Absent were Mike Hall and Tod Brininger.

The cheer­lead­ers raised $752 from their pie auc­tion. The money raised will help fund their annual project, the cre­ation of scrap books to be given to the senior mem­bers of the foot­ball team at the end of the season.

Cheer­lead­ers are Leah Doubikin, Kailee Par­sons, Court­ney Robin­son, and Alli­son Welty, seniors ; Bri­anna Brooks, junior and Mason Dis­ter­dick, Kim­ber­lyn Seitz, Amanda Hook, Ash­lee Par­sons and Ally Fox, sophomores.

The foot­ball team played an intra squad scrim­mage ear­lier in the day. Fol­low­ing the auc­tion, a carry in din­ner was enjoyed by all.
