Many people think that the school pays for the football program, field maintenance and transportation to games. It does not. Lots of schools have a pay to play policy, such as $600 per varsity sport at some of the larger schools in the state. Elkmont chooses to fund its sports differently. Our football program is self supporting with help from the Quarterback Club. This year the football players are selling discount cards to help cover the expense of fielding a football team.
This cards are $20 each with discounts from Domino's Pizza, Applebee's, Arby's, Roosters, Pizza Hut, Krystal, Express Oil Change, Quizno's, Captain D's, Panda Express, Little Caesars and El Olmeca. Each player has been asked to sell 8 of them. You can purchase them from the varsity football players. Please consider supporting our team by buying a card. We need to circle the wagons around our Elkmont community. If we don't take care of our own, who will?
Cody Thomas, Leigh Thomas' son, is one of these varsity players. She let me know about this program so if you don't have friends or family playing, you can contact her for more information or to buy a card. Facebook page link: Leigh Kennedy Thomas
