UNC Lacrosse Project: Freshmen Dinner

Coach Haus’ wife, Mrs. Lisa Haus suggested a new tradition for the team this year: A special dinner at the Haus’ house for each of the four classes. Tonight’s dinner was for the freshman. Next month the sophomore will have their dinner, the juniors in November and the seniors will wrap it up in December.

Before dinner, Coach Haus’ youngest son Grant played a game of paper football with Milton Lyles on a coffee table in the living room. The goal was to take a piece of paper folded up into a triangle and try to slide it across the table, leaving it partially hanging off the side of the table without falling off. If you managed that, you got to shoot a field goal for extra points. No doubt Milton had a lot of experience before tonight playing the game. If Milton ever approaches you to make a bet to play him in paper football, don’t take it. He will beat you handily.

With so many hungry mouths to feed, I was expecting Mrs. Haus to have the dinner catered. But I was impressed to see she was making everything on her own. On the menu tonight was chili available in both beef and chicken.
