Friday Night September 25, the Heyworth High School Hornets hosted the Tremont Turks for the Hornets homecoming football game. As we drove to the game, it was kind of deja vu of the 2nd week of the season when we also covered the Hornets in Heyworth at clouds started backing in from the Northeast. The resulting sunset was nearly the same as week two - vivid brilliant colors providing back light for silhouettes of some houses and birds flying just west of the field. The playing conditions were night and day. The clouds cleared off to reveal a brilliant moon and there was no precipitation or lightning in the area to prevent any action on the field.
Our star of the night was the Homecoming King, Cole Sinn who seemed to have about twice as much will and fire as the next Hornet on the field. The Queen this year was Lydia Martens.
Friday night August 28th was the first night for IHSA football games. Our usually list to pick from was a little smaller this year than others as the home game schedules only had 3 playing in McLean County. The schedules are a bit tighter this year with Lexington joining the Ridgeview/Blue Ridge partnership. We hear it was a numbers decision associated with potential players and not a financial situation. What ever the reason, it is good to see that those who want to play and the administrators found a way to make it happen. The Ridgeview/Blue Ridge/Lexington team we believe is still known as the Mustangs. They played the Fisher Bunnies at Fisher on opening night. We hope to cover them soon.
Our pick placed us in LeRoy with the Panthers hosting the GCMS Falcons of Gibson City - Melvin - Sibley high school. The Falcons seemed to have the edge early and I believe they won (we had to leave in the 3rd quarter for another commitment), but the Panthers held their own. The game was 7-6 Falcons in the lead as we headed for the bus. The announcer yelled touchdown as we were loading gear, but we didn't hear who it was.
