He is still helping out the program and looked so much more relaxed when I saw him Friday. He was actually smiling.
Being a head coach can be like carrying the weight of the world.
Did you know that Oregon has the second highest turnout of players in t h e c o n f er e n c e ? A c c o r d i n g t o A D Mike Lawton, Stillman has the most and Oregon next.
Besides Oregon and SV, the only other schools able to field three levels of football are Dixon, Byron and Winnebago. As private schools, Rockford Christian and Lutheran are either up or down.
If there was a surprise score in the conference, it was Lutheran edging North Boone. Supposedly Lutheran is a bit like Oregon with lot of younger kids playing.
Defending 8-man state champ Polo starting the season 0-1 is an aberrat i o n , b u t n o t t o t a l l y u n e x p e c t e d. When you lose your all-everything quarterback and most of your line, it’s a rebuilding year.
With that program in solid hands, the Marcos will be OK this season, though.
The NUIC looks sim ilar to last year as Forreston, Fulton, Du-Pec and Le-Win came up with resounding wins. We will learn more this Friday when Du-Pec travels to Forreston, which is where I plan to be.
What better place to be on a Friday night. I was told I missed a good concert at the Mt. Morris band shell last Friday with a Chicago cover group.
That’s OK. I got to see the Little Prairie Mennonite Church put on a cappella singing performance Sunday afternoon at the band shell. With all the good concerts at Park West and Mt. Morris, that was my favorite.
And don’t forget about our talented high school bands strutting their stuff Friday nights under the lights. It wouldn’t be football without them.
