Wilmington Wildcats football
Fans in Normal saw what Wilmington football is all about, while Joliet Catholic running back HJ Grigsby refused to quit and Lincoln-Way East coach Rob Zvonar had plenty to be proud of. Herald-News sports reporter Steve Millar shares his observations from the weekend.
Wilmington rode its defense and workhorse running back Kyle Farrell to its second state championship in three seasons Friday with a 28-3 win over Athens in the Class 2A state championship.
