CHAMPAIGN - On a chilly, overcast April 1, 2006, the Centennial Chargers and Decatur MacArthur Generals met on the pitch for an early season Big Twelve conference match in Champaign. The athletes in these PhotoNews photos are 20 years older now — maybe coaching youth teams of their own, or watching their kids chase a ball on a Saturday morning.

While the photos survived, the rosters and final score didn't make it with them through time to today. Recognize a player, played in this game, or remember the final score? Drop us a note at photos@oursentinel.com.

Here's a look back nearly 20 years ago at the athletes who represented one of Champaign County's best soccer programs.
