The local football season kicked off today with the Illinois State Redbird Red-White scrimmage. A healthy combination of fans and students attended the event and the preliminary activities which included the annual student promo photo on the field in Hancock Stadium with the Big Red Marching Machine, cheerleaders, flag corp, and Redline Dancers forming ISU all wearing red shirts.
High School football will follow in 13 days with the first Friday Lights games.
Get out this fall, support your local teams and see some of the great talent that passes through our communities!
