History of the Skulls SC – Why the Skulls that is such a tough name!
It all started on a Halloween morning at a MDA fundraiser when the core of the u12 teams were 5and 6 years old. Coach Eddie was working at the MDA fundraiser and was in charge of the face painting. He painted a pretty good Skulls face on one of the boys and they all wanted to be Skull faces. Coach Eddie did not think twice all the boys had cools Skull faces. He assumed the boys would go home wash their faces before their afternoon game. He was wrong –the boys showed up hours later to the game with their faces still in make up and worst yet runny make up. The Boys proceed to trounce the opposing team 19-0 and the legend of the Skulls began. He has heard from some of the players of the opposing team and has been told that they were mortified to play the boys and remember the game. Every Halloween that there is a game the boys put on the face paint and play as Skulls! That is how we became the Skulls!
