The JV football team improve to 2-0 with an 18-12 victory over Decatur MacArthur Monday night. For the Senator offense the Noahs were the key. Noah Puckett got the scoring going with a TD catch from Kam Parson early in the game and Noah Wade put the Senators ahead for good with a TD catch in both the third and the game winning one in the fourth. One catch came from Parson again and the other from freshmen Andrew Benning. When the offense needed a big play Richawn Crawford stepped up running the ball to multiple first downs and bigtime rushes. The defense anchored by Jack Wright remained strong all game causing multiple turnovers. Jacob Greco came down with what might have been a game winning tackle late in the contest, keeping the Generals offense from a big score. SHS now sets their eyes on going 2-0 against their city school counterparts over the next two weeks.

The Code of Conduct and the guidelines of the student handbook apply to all students while on District 186 property, adjacent property or engaged in school-sponsored activities. Any misconduct before, during or after the game will be handled by the administration at the student’s school and will result in consequences.
