Storming the Field in Style!

Rivalries can be ugly. Before our game last night I was talking the officiating crew about their experience with rivalries. They had some horror stories about fights and ugly games. NOT IN OUR HOUSE! Last night was a perfect example for the rest of the world how a rivalry can be positive.

Last night was one of the hardest hitting, well fought Football game, I have ever been to. We did have one unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Dekalb. Not to give an excuse, but it came at a time they were getting really frustrated. It was a battle in the trenches but it was a clean battle.

The best part of the night wasn't the awesome play of our line, the great catch and interception by Jamison Wisel, the 6 touchdowns and record for Todd Frickey, or the ending of a 35 year drought against the Barons. The best part of the night was the character displayed by our student section when they stormed the field. They actually waited for the traditional midfield handshake before the celebrated with our team. No one gave them instructions, not one set it up ahead of time. They did it on their own because they are awesome. Now I've committed  to Sundaes for these senior girls on Tuesday. It's worth it!

The Volleyball team hosted the Lady Barons of Dekalb High School tonight in the "Warm" Bateman gym. The Railroaders led by Jordyn Knott, Katie DePew, and Laura Moynahan dominated the Barons. The Lady Railroaders swept Dekalb in 3 games. We are not sure when Garrett last defeated the Barons. It has been a long time. What a great start to the season. But, there is no rest for the VB team as they host Prairie Heights tomorrow and then travel to Churubusco on Thursday. Congrats Coach Richardson and the Lady Railroaders!
