Football Season Begins!
Naperville, Ill-Welcome back football fans! With every fall comes excitement for the football season! And this year looks to be one of the best we've ever had! The Naperville Central team has been working hard almost every day this summer in preparation for the season. One of the big stories this offseason was a quarterback controversy. Last year Junior (Now senior) QB Jacob Schmidt led the Redhawks to a disappointing 4-5 season. In the final two games of the season Junior (Now Senior) QB Brendan McIntyre started leading his team to a 1-1 record while also showing that he can play. He went 45-62 283yds with 4TDs and 1INT. But he also rushed for 162yds and 2TDs on 16attempts. This started a debate within the team. Who was going to start? Well at the end of the summer it looked like Schmidt had won his job back. But two weeks before school started he was arrested for a DUI and spent a night in jail. After getting out, Schmidt was suspended from the football team indefinitely. "We cannot allow that kind of behavior in our school. This is exactly what we are trying to teach these kids to avoid." Said head coach Gerry Fisher. Well without Schmidt it looks like the starting job will go to McIntyre. We can only hope that he leads this team in the right direction.
