Tyson Mengel might want to clear off some time on an upcoming Saturday. The Central head football coach has quite a pack 8th graders heading his way.
The skill guys are fast and mean. The linemen are oversized hogs, and they love what they do. The Jr Falcon 8th grade football team is off to a 2-0 start, and they are punishing their opponents. They beat a very strong Stateline team 20-0 in week one, and rolled over developing Bayview 50-0 this Saturday at Central.

I would love to see the Jr Falcon 8th-graders play the Jr Panther varsity team. Both teams are 2-0. There would be a lot of great match-ups in that one. Would the Jr Falcons try to cover Frisby with Meininger? How would Johnny Weber deal with The Hogs’ pass rush? They are in different youth leagues. However, as County Sports Page grows and gains more sponsors, we will arrange marquee match-ups (like this) and other special events.
Jr Falcons play Saturday, 1pm, at Racine – Roosevelt Park.
