Sports : VS Alumni Football: 2012 players prepare for June 16 game

The Vinton-Shellsburg Alumni Football team has 40 members on its roster, and would welcome more.

We had a great turnout for our Sunday practice, and we can still add more to the roster. Practices are every Friday and Sunday at 6:00 pm at the high school football field all the way to our game on Saturday June 16 at 7:00 pm. Tickets are on sale. $10 per ticket (7 and under are free). 50% of all pre-game ticket sales will come back to our school district or school programs. In just the 1st week, I have handed out 200 tickets to just a few of our players. Our goal is to fill the stands with 2000 or more fans and I think we are on our way towards that goal! If any player is interested in joining the alumni team, there is still time.
