One of the most anticipated events on the North Scott athletic calendar is set for this Friday, Feb. 6, with a kooky, spooky theme.
The 49th North Scott Athletic Boosters Cake Auction theme is “The Lancer Family,” a spin on the upcoming Lancer Productions spring musical “The Addams Family.” And this year’s event features more than a few familiar things, but one big change.
There will be no live auction this year during the halftime of each game. Instead, all bidding will be silent auction style in the cafeteria. The Boosters are also bringing back auction baskets and other fun items to bid on. Among the big-ticket items will be a grill, donated by Diamond Builders. Bidding opens at 4:30 p.m. and will end following the third quarter of the varsity boys’ game.
In addition to cakes for bidding, there will be cake available for purchase by the slice. The Music Boosters will also be selling food at the concession stand in The Pit.
Donated cakes may be dropped off at the high school main office on Friday afternoon. To learn more about how you can donate, visit tinyurl.com/NSAB2026, email nshsathleticboosters@gmail.com or call Tori Kelley at 563-529-5552.
The Boosters welcome donations of cake or baskets, as well as monetary donations. All proceeds from the Cake Auction support North Scott student-athletes and allow for the funding of equipment and uniform purchases, travel and other team needs.
As for the games themselves, North Scott will host Davenport Assumption in a girl-boy doubleheader. The girls’ varsity game will begin at approximately 6 p.m. in The Pit, followed by the boys’ varsity game.
