“I need spaghetti.”

That’s one of the important things Stearns’ Lucas Pelkey had to say while he was mic’d up during Monday’s Lobster Bowl practice at Foxcroft Academy.

While chatting with teammates, Pelkey mentioned that he was being disrespected for being an eight-man football player, but, hey, how many other players were doing this in November:

He also was a Varsity Maine All-State selection.

The 36th Lobster Bowl Classic all-star football game will be played Saturday at Lewiston High School at 4 p.m.
