The Sam Wyche
Food Fight Bowl
Friday, Sept. 10, 2010
Pickens and Easley High Schools enjoy a rivalry that is widely known as one of the
fiercest in South Carolina. In 2008, the intense competition between the football
teams was harnessed to help Pickens County Meals on Wheels feed the community's
homebound elderly. The football teams compete for the distinguished Food Fight Trophy
that is presented to the winning team at the end of the game. Weeks before the big
game, students raise money on behalf of Meals on Wheels. At half-time, the high
school that raises the most money is the winner of the traveling Ultimate Food Fight
Trophy!
