Football, fun and chili


The Nacogdoches County Go-Texan Team ranked No. 1 in chili at the SFA Student Foundation’s 7th Annual Chili Cook-Off on Saturday, November 4 at Lumberjack Alley.

The SFA Student Foundation Association, a community-oriented leadership organization, presented the showmanship award. This award is for overall excellent customer service. There was a two-way tie for first place between Nacogdoches County Go-Texans and Beat Sam. Appleby Smoke Eaters came in second place, and Sonic came in third place.

Sonic won the “Class Act Jack,” for best presentation and a $25 prize. Beat Sam won the “What in the Jack is That?” for the most unusual chili, for $50. Sonic also won the “Fire-Jack,” the spiciest chili for $75. The Nacogdoches County Go-Texan won “Master Chili-Jack,” the best overall chili for $100.

There were 10 teams, with two teams who entered twice with different recipes: Hardeman House, Student Activities Association, a group called Grad Asses, Appleby Smoke Eaters, Sonic Drive-In, Nacogdoches County Go-Texan Committee, Tashiana Briggs, Beat Sam, Appleby Smoke Team 2 and Sonic Drive-In 2.

Nacogdoches County Go-Texan provides youth scholarships through the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. This was their third year competing.
