MEHMS CAFETERIA- Football mom Judy Lubnow is presented with the official Mustang Chili cook off apron and ‘Braggin’ Spoon’ after she wins the best chili, voted by senior football players and cheerleaders.

Sweaty, sore boys line up for warm chili after a back breaking and heart breaking loss to William Monroe High School last Friday. The tradition for the past few years was that the varsity seniors of the football team would be the judges of the best chili at the annual Senior Night Chili Cook Off. However, since Senior Night and Homecoming were packed into the same night this year, the loss was extra sad. And the contestants worked hard to make the chili extra comforting.

Players and cheerleaders had to choose between eight very diverse but delicious bowls of chili. The meat in the chili varied from beef, to venison, to even buffalo. Many noticed that one chili had a very Indian taste to it and one contestant used spaghetti instead of macaroni to make a very creative edition of ‘chili mac.’

After what seemed like ages of deliberating, the varsity senior football players and cheerleaders voted on the best chili. Proud mom of star player Steven Lubnow, Judy Lubnow, came out as the winner. It is no surprise that she won this Chili Cook Off because this football mom is talented in the field of delicious things. She has even been crowned ‘Queen Of All Things Tasty’ by yours truly.

With warm chili and fabulous seven layer bean dip in their stomachs, the boys seemed to be pleased. It is amazing how food can cheer a person up. Lubnow walked away the winner, seniors walked away stuffed, and it was another bitter-sweet ending to the football season.
