Booster clubs are evolving the annual fundraiser to better support community sponsors.
The age-old high school fundraiser is getting smarter in Suwanee. Booster club boards have found a way to encourage greater patronage with small business sponsors through a multi-use service card. It’s a win-win-win situation. The high school team wins with funding. The local business wins with repeat customers. The purchaser wins with discounts in excess of what they paid for the card. It wasn’t too many years ago that the high school students were asked to sell big coupon books. You remember those, right? Page-after-page of coupons to national merchants for $20.

The situation at winter break time for Suwanee high school basketball teams: Collins Hill boys The varsity Eagles have a new coach in Eric Nathan and young team with two sophomores in the starting rotation. The team has yet to win a game, but their first four losses against non-region opponents were all single digit losses. “In our early games we struggled to figure out how to win close games,” Nathan said via phone. “Now we are working on how to compete with strong teams.” Despite their winless start, there is optimism from Nathan.

Jordan Parker scored three touchdowns to lead Collins Hill to a 51-0 playoff tuneup victory over visiting Meadowcreek Friday night.

Parker scored two of his touchdowns in the first half as Collins Hill built a 22-0 halftime lead. Quarterback Brett Sheehan scored on two runs, and Tyler Henderson and R.J. Burnette also scored TDs.
