Linda Webber of Ellsworth was named the Eccentricity Mom of the Month for September. Webber has two sons in the Ellsworth football program and has become a valuable asset for the Bearcats.
“When Coach Homolka came to Ellsworth, he wanted to make as much of a College Gameday experience as possible for the football boys,” Webber said. “As parents, we were all in. The first couple of years everyone signed up for different things to make and bring to the school on game day.”
Covid brought an end to what Webber and the fellow moms were doing for the players, but now it is back to normal.
“The following year we were back to normal,” Webber said. “There were just four seniors. Two of us moms stepped up and volunteered to make them meals. This year there are only two seniors and with my son being in a large junior class, I told coach that I would head it up again. It is nice because we have several of the freshman moms that are wanting to help and they are in charge of sack lunches for away games.”
Fridays are hectic for Webber, but she would not have it any other way.
“One of my favorite things is the time after they eat and the game starts,” Webber said. “Lots of the boys come to our house to hang out. I always give them dessert and make certain they are keeping hydrated.”
