On Thursday, October 17, McKinney Christian Academy hosted the annual tailgate. The Middle School football team had a home game before the events, in which they were defeated. The Upper School Varsity and Junior Varsity volleyball teams also had a game that evening. At the beginning of the tailgate, the Upper School Homecoming dates exchanged mums and garters they had customized for each other. Then, the Lil Stangs cheer squad had a performance. Afterward, all the fall sports teams were announced, and cross country danced while wearing togas. Many MCA families came out to join in on the festivities and fun. There were a couple of booths for trinkets and an MCA spirit shop. Dilla’s was served for dinner, and an ice cream truck was also there. This has been an annual tradition for the past three years that students and family look forward to
