Normal West Wildcats take fizz out of Maroons of Champaign
The opening night of High School Friday Night Football turned up some pretty nice games. In Normal, the Wildcats started the season with a sophomore as starting Quarterback. Mitch Fairfield didn't disappoint With the help of the Wildcat defense getting the ball for him on a number of turnover, they moved to a 28-7 lead at half time and only gave up one touchdown and extra point in the second half while scoring more themselves.
Congrats to the Wildcats on starting the season off with the W.

Ironmen and Redbirds both winner this weekend
A pair of fairly handy wins for local teams this past weekend. The Maroons of Champaign Central played at the Ironmens home of Normal Community. The Jr. Varsity game was a one point win for NCHS, but the Varsity game had a much better cushion. On Saturday afternoon, the Salukis of Southern Illinois University came to Redbird Arena to visit the Redbirds of Illinois State University. It was almost a 40 point decision for the Redbirds. The excitement lasted to the end as the Salukis recieved 2 technical fouls with less than a minute to go sendingBarry Hinson off the court with an ejection. ISU walk on Matt Stacho saw some minutes late in the game and scored a pair of points off a lay up.

Finally
School is Finally back in session.
The hottest part of summer is Finally coming to an end
The sweet smell of fresh corn is Finally in the air
Football is FINALLY back in season.
I enjoy the preseason games on the tube in the hot beginning of August. It's always a welcome view compared to the reruns from last season, the hohum of new reality pilots, award shows and yet another season of the Cubs losing. I do hesitate to put a lot of credence to the preseason games of the NFL. They are full of rookies and 3rd place depth chart players working hard to make an impression on either the team they are currently with or for one of the hundred scouts watching each game to find a player that will get released and help their team. So, the action is usually filled with some great plays and emotion. That always seems to die a little in the last week of the preseason schedule. Still, couldn't the Bears look a little more like they really want to win?
The 27th was opening night for IHSA Friday Night Football, Football under the lights. I was assigned to the local Normal Community Ironmen game. The Iron were hosting the Maroons from Champaign Central. A decent game that could have used a little more fan base from the city 40 miles east. The bleachers on their side were pretty vacant. Maybe every school needs to put the bathrooms and concessions on the visitors side... But the game itself had a good bit of action. Lots of tough runs up the middle, some short yardage runs and passes up the sidelines, interceptions, sacks, and a TD about anyway one could be scored. Even one kick off that nearly went through the uprights (but that's a feet for the kicker from West).
The only bummer on the night was the mosquitoes who seemed to have lined up a week ago for admission. They had me almost thinking that I wished it was Finally time for a hard freeze - ALMOST!
Enjoy the images.
