The Boone County Jaycees hosted a “Meet the Stallions” night at the Florence Hooters on Wednesday July 29th. The Stallions are a semi-professional football team in the Heartland Football league. The team comprised of forty young men, plays their games at Dixie Heights High School in Edgewood. The Jaycees are a networking and community service organization for young people ages 20 to 40.
The Jaycees are an official partner with the Kentucky Stallions. The Jaycee chapter serves concessions at each of the home games to generate profits for the two organizations. This event was held to celebrate the successful partnership between the Jaycees and the team. In addition, the Jaycees presented a check to the team for their portion of their profits from the concession sales at the home games to date. A check for over $600 was presented to the team at the event by concessions manager Julie Metzger Aubuchon. She states: “it is so great to be able to partner with the team. The Jaycees utilize their portion of the proceeds to help with its many charitable causes such as fundraising for the Make A Wish Foundation and our youth scholarships.”
Coach Mike Metzger is proud of his team in its inaugural season. The team has a 6-2 record and is headed to the play-offs in the Heartland League. He comments that it was a great opportunity to build cohesiveness at the Jaycees social. He states: “my players are great young men who haven’t got football out of their system yet and play for the love of the game. They are an outstanding example of team work and we are optimistic about our play-off chances.”
