Senior Parents for Football, Cheer, Band, Cross Country and Golf,

Hello! With all of the workaround and changes to our press box/videoboard this season, I have regrettably forgotten to get information to you regarding Senior Night on Friday. In the past few years, we have always played a message from parents as you and your Senior enter the field for Senior Night, before we read Senior Night recognition information. I’d still like to do that, although we’ll just have only audio to play.

Here’s what I need from you -- Simply record a video with a quick message for your senior. You can tell them you’re proud of all that they’ve accomplished, can’t wait to see what they do in the future, etc. These normally run anywhere between 15-30 seconds. You can record them on your phone and either send them to me via email at [email protected], or text them to me at 217-779-7967.

Given the short time frame, please have these to me by NOON ON FRIDAY. If I can answer any questions, please contact me at 217-779-7967. Please tag a parent that might need to know this for Senior Night!

Thank you!
-Brian Shoemaker

Down to the wire tonight, came up just a little short but it was a fun game to watch these young boys compete against QND Little Raiders. Lost 6-12.

Thank you to some of our Varsity boys for helping officiate and run the chains. Brian Shoemaker and Matt Rolando for helping with press box and making the night special for these boys.

JFL heads to Calhoun Sunday (date change).
