Dave Lusk organized the event again this year. The football players served as hosts.
Bob Hubbell had paid the cost of the breakfast for many years, but since he passed away in the last year, his daughter and son-in-law Patty and Dave Devier graciously agreed to financially support the breakfast this year.

The 14th-ranked ONU women’s soccer team will be competing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday morning, when they will host Penn St.-Behrend at 11:30 a.m.
It will mark the program’s first trip to the national tournament in five years and the first time that they have hosted the first two rounds of the tournament since 2011.
The Polar Bears are coming off of a 17-1-2 regular season, with their only loss coming in their first game, on Sept. 1. They were an automatic qualifier for the NCAA Tournament after winning the OAC regular season and tournament titles for the first time in school history.
ODOT's 1,629 snowplow trucks have been inspected and are ready to roll.
Last year, which wasn't a terribly snowy season, saw ODOT trucks drive over 6.8 million miles (or like 275 trips around the Earth). Crews used 600,000 tons of salt and 12 million gallons of deicer on the 43,000 lane miles of roadway.
And they have a pleas for you:
While we work hard to clear snow and ice, we need your help as well. ODOT plows were struck 35 times in 2016. Please be sure to give our drivers plenty of room to work. Plow trucks typically drive much slower than other traffic, so be extra alert when driving near them.
