Aurora Christian falls to Winnebago

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00 CST

Aurora Christian's season may not have ended on a deflected pass that wound up in the hands of Winnebago linebacker Michael Sojka, but the turnover late in the first half of the Indians' 28-14 Class 3A first-round victory over the Eagles proved the catalyst for that end.

The Aurora Christian football team had been on a roll since a 41-8 loss to Montini three weeks ago. But the train is slightly off the track now. The Eagles' rough first half against visiting St. Francis set them too far back to recover in a 35-20 loss.

Eagles wrap talons around conference crown

The red No. 1 on John Magee's white jersey faded into near imperceptibility by the time he peeled himself off the St. Edward 34-yard-line with seconds left in Friday's contest in Elgin. His linemen pushed their fists in the air as his final first down run of the night clinched not only a 23-18 victory over the Green Wave (5-2, 2-2) but the inaugural Suburban Christian Conference Gold title.

Eagles' Magee brothers bring flash, substance

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:01 CST

Jim Owczarski: It's hard to live up to hype. That's why it's called that -- it usually means you can't. And there weren't two more hyped athletes in the Aurora area this year than Aurora Christian's Sheldon and John Magee. Their numbers have proved much of the hype to be true, but what Friday night's 48-31 victory over previously unbeaten Wheaton Academy proved was that the Magees aren't all style.

Eagles QB Grayson Roberts will be in the spotlight, as the sophomore already has thrown six interceptions this year and the Warriors already have run a handful of pickoffs back for TDs. Wheaton Academy boasts a big play defensive backfield led by Kai Libby and Anthony Ritchie, who look to score if they get their hands on the ball (five INTs, three INT TDs).
