Pride Scrimmage Raises Money and Awareness for Type 1 Diabetes
Winterset hosted Des Moines Lincoln on Saturday, November 25th for a Pride Scrimmage.
The 9th grade, JV, and Varsity teams all played in a pre-season game as a tune up before the regular season begins. The Husky 9th graders came up short in their game, JV won, and Winterset took the Varsity game 60-40. In order to do a Pride Scrimmage, schools must do a community service project or raise awareness for a good cause. Before the Varsity game, there was a program to raise awareness for Type 1 Diabetes. Varsity Boys Head Coach Josh Henry is Type 1 Diabetic and he shared how he got diagnosed 7 years ago. There were also other students and teachers from each school who introduced themselves and shared how long they have been diabetic. Local Pharmacist Brandon Gerleman talked to the crowd about what Type 1 Diabetes is and how it differs from Type 2 Diabetes. Both schools ordered Pride Scrimmage T-shirts that were a fundraiser as well. Overall, the night was a success and the money raised from the T-shirts and admissions were donated to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).  2016-2017 All-Conference Players
