MIDLOTHIAN - Midlothian High School staff enjoyed a breakfast of champions
Friday, Sept. 17, served by our own champions, the MHS Varsity Football team.
From 48 players on the roster, more than 500 breakfast burritos, fruit salads,
and breakfast drinks were prepared, packaged and served cheerfully to more than
100 high school employees.
Coach Wiginton’s players did not receive extra credit, money, or community
service hours for arriving at 7 a.m. to appreciate their teachers by preparing a
free breakfast for them.
"All the food was paid for and prepared by the players. They want to show the
respect for the teachers and leadership at this school," Special Teams Coach
Jimmy Spradley said.
Players greeted teachers as they arrived. Boys crowded around a large round
table to hand package sausage/egg burritos.
Even injured player Blake Lunday sat in a wheelchair at the door to hand out
food as teachers entered the classroom set up as a breakfast diner.
