Bartlett team celebrates end of doubles practice

The Bartlett High School varsity football team has a tradition for the last day of doubles practice — watermelon. On Aug. 18, the team had their last doubles, and the Boosters came in with 30 watermelons and cut them up. The tradition that started the first year the school had a varsity team.
