Well, the Ridgeview Mustangs ended the football season winless losing the final game at home to the Heyworth Hornets 62-38. The game was played in the rain and on a muddy field producing ground campaigns from each team and keep fans to a minimum. Those that did come saw a lot of courage and fortitude by players on both teams.

Friday night was a real mudbowl at Normal Community Ironmen game. The Iron ended up losing by 6 to the Danville Vikings, 12-6. I guess on the positive side, the rain had quit by game time. By the 3rd play of the game, I was left wondering why there were numbers on the jerseys. You couldn't see them. 20091016 Danville v NCHS - Images by Alan Look By Saturday afternoon, the skies had lightened up and there was alternating clouds and sun for Illinois State Univerities Redbirds homecoming football game. They knocked out the Indiana State Sycamores. One just has to wonder when the Sycamores will win a game. I believe they are 1-51 since 2005. I don't want to know who they beat. My game ball goes to Bert Whigham who blocked a punt. 20091017 Indiana State v Illinois State - Images by Alan Look
