NORTHBORO - David Brown can't wait to go back to work.
After 23 years of coaching swimming, including 17 years as head coach of the Morris squad, Joanne Engle knows that some exciting times are ahead for the boys team this winter. Despite graduating a handful of key members of last year's squad, Engle feel that there will be plenty of quality swimming for the locals to enjoy.
MINOOKA - When Minooka's wrestling season officially got underway last week, the Indians were ranked by Illinois Best Weekly as the No. 6 team in the IHSA 3A classification. The next time the Indians take to the mats, they will arrive as the publication's No. 3 team.
COAL CITY - Following up a season like the Coal City wrestling team had in 2007-08 may be pretty tough to do. Upon first glance, any team that can boast three individual state champions is pretty daunting. Still, with two of those grapplers back for their senior seasons - Lance Evans and Chase Odeen - success again looms for the Coalers as the '08-'09 season dawns.

When asked about his outlook for the 2008-09 wrestling season, Morris third-year varsity coach Brian McTague was quick with an answer.
Because of the way things were scheduled, I saw too little of one thing during the prep fall sports postseason, and saw another thing too soon.
History has not been on the side of the Morris football team whenever it has played Kankakee in the past. Were it to be the lone barometer to this afternoon's 1 p.m. kickoff at the home of the Kays, the Redskins could be in trouble.
