We are often guilty of overlooking our neighbors, and focusing our attentions too close to home. If we are to be a true "club of the county", we have to commit to do better. So let's start with bigging up the IC T-Wolves

IC improves to 12-0-1 after winning at home tonight against Oregon. Next up is Aurora Central Catholic on Thursday at 6:30pm.

Parker Murry - 2 goals, assist
Jason Brewer - 2 goals, assist
Ondrej Bartosovic - goal, assist
Pablo Alvarez
