High school football fans are hungry for the start of the season.

The players are equally hungry — but until two-a-days start in August, there is plenty to satisfy their appetite Monday night at Hooley House.

The third annual Hooley House/News-Herald High School Football Hot Dog Eating Contest takes place at 7 p.m. Monday at Hooley House as a part of a special “Varsity Chalk Talk.” Each two-person team will have 3 minutes to eat as many hot dogs as they can.

Eleven area teams confirmed to participate: Mentor, Euclid, Riverside, Mayfield, Gilmour, Lake Catholic, Chagrin Falls, Chardon, Beachwood, Kirtland and Madison.

Representatives include the following: Kirtland, Mike Cymbal and Cannon Schroeder; Chardon, Kevin Shuppe and Max Menko; Chagrin Falls, Alex Goebel and Daniel Herbener; Madison, Brandon Burkholder and Kurt Smith; Mentor, Brandon Ray and Matt Zolcak.

The remainder of the entrants will be announced tonight prior to the start of the contest live at Hooley House, 7861 Reynolds Road, Mentor. Food and beverage specials will be available. All coaches, players, parents and fans are welcome to attend.
