52nd Annual "The Milk Can" Football Game

52nd Annual - 8/19/22 - Week 1- Fennimore @ Iowa-Grant 7:00p (Non-Conference Game)
History of the “The Milk Can” Game
The battle for the "can" started in 1970 and the Golden Eagles claimed it first with a 28-0 win.
How did this all come about?
It all started in 1955 when two young men returned from the military and enrolled at UW-Platteville.
Larry Thurston and Jim Piquette fought in the Korean War, Thurston as a member of the U.S. Army and Piquette as a U.S. Marine. While they were attending college for the education, they were also there to pursue their passion...football.
The two men met at the first day of practice for the Pioneers in August and from that day forward they were best friends. After graduation they went their separate ways and both landed jobs as teachers and coaches.
In the late 1960s Thurston was named head football coach at Fennimore and about the same time Piquette was given the same position at Iowa-Grant. They both met up at numerous coaching clinics where they begged, borrowed or stole any ideas that might help their programs.
It was at one of the clinics that they decided if their teams were going to play each other, they might as well play for something. That something was determined to be..."The Milk Can."
Because a silver milk can is not a thing of beauty, they decided a little paint would help. One side is painted red and black for Iowa-Grant and the other maroon and gold for Fennimore. After each game, the year and score of the game is painted on the can.

Summer school students used ziplock piping bags filled with frosting and steady hands to decorate cookies and cupcakes. Mini marshmallows and sprinkles were cut in half to create flowers. Orange frosting and spooky decorations made cupcake monsters fun to create.
Summer school baking friends finished their cake pops on Wednesday! Yum Yum.
Ready, Set, Dessert!!!! Check out what the summer school students are baking up! Twinkie Cake Cups and Energy Bites are on the menu.
So many things to see under the sea! First and second graders have been exploring the different levels of the ocean and some of the animals that live at each level. Some of the animals we have learned about the last two days include: the pufferfish, the jellyfish, the clownfish, the blobfish and the anglerfish. We also spent some time talking about coral reefs and what we can do to make sure they are restored and thriving!
