Two great games at Shirk last night for the Boys intercity.  One always fun rivalry - West v Community, with a twist this year.  Three Seibrings played.  Two brothers for NCHS and  their cousin for West. Then, it was the title game between Uhigh and Bloomington.  Very up tempo.  Bloomington charged out to the lead, but University came back in the 4th quarter to claim the W and the award.

Triopia trumped the Le Roy Panthers today by 2 points.  It was a knock down, drag them out, take an inch up the middle game from the beginning.  The stadium was packed, parking a premium, and the weather cooperative!  What a season the Panthers had.  11-1. Alan Look Photography Gallery There will be photo coverage in the LeRoy Leader, a Normalite Newspaper and in Best Look Magazine 's February Issue.

Deer Creek Mackinaws Chiefs were one of the final four in the Class 2A completion.  On Friday, they went the distance with the Rams of Riverdale (Port Bryon).  The Rams took the first set pretty easily.  The second set turned after the first few points and the passion and play came to the Chiefs.  They took the second set and didn’t let up till they finished off on top at the end of the third set to take the match 2 sets to one.

Wow, 3 football games in a row without any precipitation! Last Saturday's game, and two this weekend.  I still won't complain about getting rain on so many games this season.  So many are hurting from the lack of it from May to almost September. It didn't rain on Le Roy yesterday, but it sounded like thunder on the field for a couple of those hits offered up by the Panther Defense!  Then the O came on the field and I thought I was on the Savana watching the cheetahs run. Way to go Panthers! Check out the Normalite (LeRoy Leader) this week and the next edition of Best Look Magazine to see which of the great photos we use of this game. John Power Photography was also on hand for the Panther game and covered the Prairie Central v Peoria Notre Dame game.  Be sure to check out his shots.

Another day spent on the grid iron at Hancock Stadium.  The new upgrades to the east side are starting to look more positive.  Most of the work is still sub terrain, but the word is that it will start becoming visible in the later half of November.  The last game this season - unless there is post season here - will be at noon on November 14th.  I'm hoping for some steel structure to be visible by then So, the coverage today was for Best Look Magazine and the Normalite .  Be sure to check out each.  A teaser gallery is at Alan Look Photography . Big news today was the lose to Missouri State, but a highlight for Illinois State was the passing today added enough to Matt Brown's total that he is now the leader in pass completion yards of all time in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
