Champaign corker and SoBos closing in on ultimate prize are two Beloit Daily News articles from todays paper. The first one tells about the Sobos 45-22 victory over Kewanee Wethersfield. The second one is by Sports Editor Jim Franz. Here are my favorite bits from the first article:

“It’s awesome to be able to beat them at home since they knocked us off last year and went to state,” Goldsworthy said. “This year we beat them, so hopefully we go and win state.”

“Last year was a disappointment, but this year we made up for it,” DeJuan Listenbee said. “To be the champs, you got to beat the champs and that’s what we just did. And to get there, it’s a dream.”

And boy what a dream it is. I think this dream has been every Sobo Football players. The game was awesome to watch. It was great going down on to the field after the game was over surrounded by all the Sobo fans. Friday I will be nervous as hell. I can’t go to the game, due to the fact I’m dead broke. But I will be thinking about them the whole day until I find if they won.
