Carr-i-Co!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A cold night on tap at Meneffee Stadium as the Scott County Cardinals came north from Georgetown tonight via tour buses sporting an undefeated record at 9-0. The home team boys from SK came into tonight looking to spoil the Cards perfect season as they come into the contest with a 2-7 record. SK played hard and showed some fight but was no match for SC. Final score Scott County 41 and SK 0. That’s about all to say regarding the game.

A bad night for the Pioneer fans? Not at all; as a matter of fact for a lot of fans it was perhaps the best night of the season. Well, actually, the best 7 minutes of the season. You see, Kevin Carrico made his season debut on the field tonight late in the 4th quarter after spending the last several months of his life battling cancer. I’ve overheard him talking on the sideline this season about how tough some of his weeks were in his battle that makes football seem like a game of jacks. Not in a complaining sort of way, but just in conversation where he was just happy to be wearing his jersey and standing on the sideline with his teammates and getting through another week of treatments.

The chants of Car-i-co rang from the stands as the fans waited for a chance to see Kevin take to the field. It gave me more chills than the sub-35 degree temps over Indy tonight hearing the chants and even thinking that this rock would get a chance to play in a game of football. A nice cheer from the fans that remained came forth as Big 78 jogged onto the field and took his place on the defensive line.

A 2-8 season is miserable and a disappointment? Not at all because tonight was just plain awesome. Kevin, congrats on a great season. You were truly the winner tonight.

78 takes to the field and lines-up.

Leaving the field; well done.
