It’s football time!
The high school, college, and professional, games are here!
The Chicago Bears season will begin noon, Sunday, Sept. 8. The preseason schedule offers hope with four victories in four games.
It was not so much the record for the Bears, but well-played and excellent advancements that continue.
Several rookies are leaders and blend in well with the veterans. They have excelled beyond all hopes in all three phases. The Bears displayed good attitudes, prevailed in offense, defense, and special teams.
Excellence is the objective, not settling for mediocrity.
College football is under way for some teams this week. High school will begin Thursday, Aug. 29 with many significant games over the weekend.
West Aurora High School returns to the Upstate Eight Conference and will play at East Aurora High School the eighth week of nine regular-season games.
