Fans of the Denair High School boys basketball team who also enjoy Cajun food should mark their calendars for Nov. 17. That’s when the coaching staff will host its first-ever Cajun Crab Boil.

Tickets are $50 and include all-you-can-eat crab, shrimp, sausage, veggies and garlic bread served family style.

There also will be live music and raffle/silent auction items. An optional $10 wristband entitles adults to all-you-can-drink beer and wine.

Proceeds will help offset travel and equipment expenses for the team. Some will be set aside to fund future scholarships for players.

The event will run from 6 to 11 p.m. at 843 Helena Ave. in Waterford.

For more information, contact coaches R.J. Henderson (209) 535-8332 or Clayton McDonald (209) 485-4897.

Denair’s team has high hopes for this season. The Coyotes were 13-13 and finished second in the Southern League a year ago, and return many of the key players who helped that team qualify for the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs for the first time in seven seasons.
