ST. JOSEPH - St. Joseph-Ogden senior Jared Altenbaumer runs through the team tunnel during the pregame introductions before the start of their home game against Unity on September 6. The undefeated Spartans, now two wins away from a guaranteed postseason bid, are back home this Friday for their first home game in two weeks, facing the Lions of Carterville. SJO moved to 4-0 last Friday after defeating Illinois Valley Central on the road, 42-28.
ST. JOSEPH - St. Joseph-Ogden's Tyler Hess is congratulated by teammates after scoring a goal in the first half. The junior led the team to a 5-3 win over University High on Wednesday at Dick Duval Field. Hess, who is the top finisher in the area with a hat trick in the team's first three matches this season, will try to make it four in a row in the undefeated Spartans' road game against the Vermilion Valley Conference's Hoopeston Area Cornjerkers on Friday. More photos and a game recap coming soon.
