By Sandy Morris

The 2021 All-Sports Banquet, which honors local students for their participation in high school athletic events, has been set for Tuesday, May 11 at the Albany High School gymnasium at 7:00 p.m.

The serving line will begin at 7:00 p.m., according to Athletic Booster Club secretary Tisha Wilkins.

High school athletes will be recognized, and coaches will announce winners of various awards, including several special memorial awards.

The theme of the night is “Game On,” and a fajita dinner will be served to the attendees with the incoming cheerleaders providing and serving the dessert.

“Team parents will do the sport table decorations at the back and then each team will be responsible for three or four table centerpieces,” said Wilkins.

Specialized centerpieces, personalized with the sports they participate in, have been made for the coaches and seniors.

Decorating the gym for the sports banquet will begin immediately after the close of the academic banquet on Monday, May 10.
