The Manvel Mavericks leadership council sampled possible pregame meal options at Honore's Cajun Cafe in Manvel, ahead of football season.High school football season kicks off in less than a month. Now is the time schools are getting all the off-the-field prep done.
"It's actually a very underrated part of the game, Kaleb Blanton, Manvel linebacker, said. "If you eat till you can barely hold your food in, by the second quarter, you may feel tired and not perform the entire four quarters."The pregame meal is an important tradition for the Mavericks. "We're not just football players. We're a family, and it starts here", Frederick Kalu, senior linebacker, said. "It starts with breaking bread with each other, enjoying each other's company before we take the field."
"When going thru all these dishes, I think about the team," Blanton said. "I think about what would be best to enjoy and also keep you energized."
