The Woonsocket baseball program will be doing a free will baked potato feed with all the fixings on Thursday Dec. 19th at the double header basketball games where SC/W will host Corsica/Stickney in Woonsocket. The Woonsocket National Honor Society and student council will also be doing a free will bake sale of Christmas goodies. ALL proceeds from these feeds will be presented to the Chad Wentland family to help defray their medical cost in Chad's fight against cancer at halftime of the varsity boys game. Chad has neuroendocrine cancer. 3 years ago he was first diagnosed when they found a tumor on his pancreas. He had 1/3 of his pancreas and his spleen removed then. This last October he went back for his regular 6 month checkup. The CT scan was abnormal. After all the testing, it was found that new tumors had moved to his liver and 3 different bones. Chad is an active board member of the I 90 baseball association that the Artesian-Letcher and Woonsocket baseball teams are a part of during the summer. Chad has also been a coach of the Pony Hills Thunder baseball teams that several area kids have been a part of over the years.
The Sanborn Central and Woonsocket fans would also like to invite the Corsica/ Stickney fans to join them in an ugly Christmas sweater night as well.
