BLOOMINGTON – The Illinois High School Association and Illinois Pork Producers Association are teaming up again this fall to find the state’s best concession stand pork chop sandwich.
It’s called the Pork and Pigskins Championship and last year’s winner was Normal Community High School.
The IHSA’s Tracie Henry says they received a state championship banner and golden spatula.
“We came up with the golden spatula for them to fell like they received a trophy for their hard work on Friday night and all the hard work they do for their community,” said Henry.
The A-Train concession group honors Adam Denzer, a pork producer who worked for Unit 5 after high school but passed away tragically in a farming accident in 2008. The A-Train trailer the group cooks with at NCHS football games was purchased by Denzer’s widow Marie.
Over 100 schools entered the competition last year. Schools can sign up for this year’s competition beginning Aug. 15. The winner will be announced Nov. 26 during the state football championships in Champaign.
