Football in July what a treat! Going to football games at the local high schools is one of the many reasons I love fall time. So when your called out to a football game in July its a surprise and a pleasure. New Lenox Patriots minor league football are an awesome team to watch. Although I have to say we may need some team building still. I believe the talent is there it seems they need some time to click smoothly. Although I may have sensed the choppy play in result of really crappy calls by the refs. “Come on throwing the QB out because he jumped on a live ball is not considered a late hit.” Over all great game and I hope to cover them for the news paper again.

The one big difference I noticed is the respect level. Most high school sidelines are filled with “stars” so they think. When I come walking by they have no intentions of noticing who is around them, and with what equipment. On the other hand the New Lenox Patriots seem to be more respectful it might be because their ages range from out of high school to guys with full time jobs and family’s. Ether way it is the first sideline that the players watched out for me and if they did bump me they said “sorry man”.
