On the receiving end of those passes were Kale Thurman with two touchdowns, Dre Brown with two touchdowns, and Jaden Wilson with one touchdown. Dre Brown also added a touchdown on a punt return, while Armanze Lewis added a score in the ground. Once again, Jeffrey Sturm was perfect on his PAT attempts. The Senators defense was suffocating all night, being led by Keyshaun Harris, Niko Stepniewski, and Bryce Bryant. The Senators will look to improve their record to four and zero this Friday at Memorial Stadium against Southeast.


  • The JV football team dominated Lanphier with a 32-0 victory Monday evening. The Senators took possession to start the game and marched right down the field for a touchdown from Andrew Benning to Noah Wade. The rest of the SHS scores came from runs one by Andrew Benning, one by Richawn Crawford, and two by Ed Horton. Carter Kim got the only turnover of the game on an interception as the Senators got their second shutout of the season. The team improved to 3-0 before they take on SE next Monday.


Students, we have had great attendance at our first home football games. But, we want to remind you of the code of conduct. 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. 


Please note that students who are suspended and/or expelled are not permitted to attend school events, including games. If a suspended or expelled student purchases a ticket and is admitted by mistake, they will be required to leave, and no refunds will be issued.


All spectators are expected to remain seated during games. Anyone found standing or roaming for an extended period of time will be asked to sit in the stands, failure to comply will result in being removed from the stadium.  


Also failing to abide by the football stadium expectations may result in you being escorted from the stadium.  If you are escorted from the stadium you will not be allowed to return to future games.


No unaccompanied minors will be allowed entry into games. All K-8th grade students should be with an adult who is responsible for their actions and monitors their movement during the games. They should be sitting watching the games and limit walking around unless using the restroom or visiting the concession stand. Students can not attend without an adult - they will not be allowed entry. 


Football games will conclude around 9:15 p.m., announcements will be made for students to call for their ride at the start of 4th quarter at every game. Please make sure your ride, if needed, is at the stadium to pick you up at that time.


We want to cheer on our teams, have great District 186 spirit and have a good time. Thank you for assisting the Administration and the Springfield Police Department in this manner. 



And now the Pledge of Allegiance!


I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
