Doing a first-year event is great. Repeating it the following year is really good. When it’s held for a third straight time, that makes it traditional.

Tonight and Thursday evening, tradition is tasty for the local high school football coaches, and their guests.

Origin Bank will host its third annual appreciation suppers for the 19 local coaches at the bank’s downtown Shreveport location on Market Street. “Kickoff” is 6:30. Tonight, coaches from Bossier Parish will convene. Thursday evening, the Caddo Parish head coaches get a free supper and a chance to visit.

The events are coordinated by the Shreveport-Bossier Journal, which is preparing for another season of award-winning, comprehensive prep football coverage – free for everyone to read.

School officials with any questions, contact Doug Ireland at sbjdoug@gmail.com for information about the events and to share team rosters.
