.@maroonathletics senior Eustach Nakakula didn’t play when Champaign Central lost to Rantoul/PBL during the regular season.
In the regional rematch, he scored thrice and sent the Maroons to the final.

F: Champaign Central 6, Rantoul/PBL 2
The Maroons’ offense just overpowered the Eagles and used five goals in the second half to pull away. Central heads to the regional title game against either Danville or Kankakee, which comes up next.

There wasn't much need for @FootballMaroons to deviate from the plan of attack.
When in doubt, run the ball. The Maroons found a lot of success doing so to rattle off a fourth-straight victory as they head into the postseason with a win over Centennial.

Kyler Johnson couldn't be stopped on Friday night. The result? A 41-28 win for @OakHS76 football at Salt Fork, a record-setting performance by the Comets' standout running back and a rivalry trophy to take home.

1Q 4:00: Central 14, Centennial 0
Dennis Hawthorne caps a run-only drive dominated by the Maroons after a 19-yard punt by the Chargers. It’s 14-0, and they just recovered an onside kick too. @ngpreps

We're six hours away from kickoff at Tommy Stewart Field.
Champaign Central (4-4) faces Centennial (3-5) and there's more than bragging rights on the line. The Maroons eye a possible home playoff game. Chargers want to continue their win streak vs Central

On the latest edition of my tri-weekly column for @ngpreps:
The 1-hour, 30-minute drive northeast of Champaign was worth it Tuesday night. While Central’s flag football team fell short, it only added more fuel to a sport that keeps seeing its fire grow.
