Practice
–
All the hard work that the kids have put in over the last 4
weeks has been appreciated. Now that school has started, we are
going to drop our practices to the normal schedule of Tuesday
thru Thursday. It’s very hard to accomplish our coaching goals
in 2 hours but we will try to finish as close to 7:30 as
possible. We may throw in a Monday night practice if we see it
necessary. The kids have been practicing hard and we have seen
a lot of progress over the last few weeks.

Game Recap –We
opened our IYFL season this last weekend with great success.
Here’s a recap of last weekend’s games:
o
Our TCYFL team had their first chance to hit someone not in a
blue jersey on Saturday morning in a scrimmage in Buffalo
Grove. They did an excellent job. Their season will begin the
first weekend in September. The team is starting to execute
pretty good and should be ready for their opener.
o
Team 1 (Maroon) defeated the Marengo Indians 34-0. The Comets
were dominant on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they were
able to pound the ball up the middle with great blocking by the
offensive line led by: Carson Borowski, Chad Autschbach, Ethan
Sheedlo, Reggie Banks and Ethan Peterson. The Comets got on the
board first when Matthew Vlasak went 14 yards around the right
end on the third play of the game. The extra point was good
with a strong run by Jeromy Groves. The next score came on a 18
yard reception by Marcus Duhah, thrown by Matthew Vlasak. On
the next possession, Grant Sutton ran for an 8 yard score for
the 3rd touchdown of the game. Grant also racked up
107 rushing yards for the game. The other scoring came from
Jake Holian and Connor Olsen with Sutton and Vlasak adding
another touchdown each. Defensively, the Comets recorded their
first shutout of the season with strong play by Cameron Krepel
as well as strong play by Jake Holian, Patrick Hastings, Kyle
Sederstrom and Luke Stocker. The highlight of the game came on
an interception by Connor Olsen who ran it back for 15 yards
right before halftime. The special teams also recovered a
fumble on a kick off which setup a touchdown drive.
o
Team 2 (Gold) defeated St. Mary’s 25-0. Jake Tiso led the
running backs with 98 yards on 3 carries and quarterback Ryan
Beatty passed for 104 yards with touchdowns. One was thrown to
Jordan Hahn (65 yards) and the other was thrown to Brad Boelkow
(39 yards). Kory Klicker defended 3 passes while Tiso and
Tristan Schmoldt had great open field blocks on Jordon Hahns
touchdown run. A great effort was put in by all the boys,
especially first year player Thomas Kempf. Nick Hogan had a
great game on defense helping preserve the shutout. There was
great upfront blocking on the line by Willie Zaremba, Alben
Rymarz, Jordon Hilton, Chris Wolf, Kyle Kirby and Eric Bock.
Kory Klicker defended 3 passes. Jake
Tiso and Tristan Schmoldt had great open field blocks on Jordon
Hahns TD.
o
The Sunday Team completed the weekend Middleweight sweep with a
18-6 victory over Lake Geneva. Tyler “Clay” Aitken scored 2
touchdowns, Michael Hrdlicka scored one and provided key blocks
for Aitken’s long runs. Danny Rygiel completed back to back
passes to Patrick Kuklinski and Aitken for nice gains. The
offensive line of Brendon Pietchman, Matt Bonogofsky, Connor
Robinson, Joe Letizia and Josh Williams. While the defense gave
up a few big plays, they kept the Badgers out of the end zone
until late in the 4th quarter. Coverage on pass
plays by Sam Kaufman, Nick Pittser, Luke Brinkman and Kuklinski
were excellent, with Brinkman and Hrdlicka breaking up 2
potentia l big plays. Williams earned the “Video of The Week”
with a big hit on a badger running back forcing and recovering a
fumble. Sacks and hits in the backfield were also recorded by
Matthew Herre, Rygiel, Aitken and Kaufman. The boys did a
great job and a special thanks to our Saturday/Sunday players:
Brad Boelkow, Jacob Holian, Nick Hogan, Kory Klicker and Chad
Autschbach as they contributed to the win as well.

Game Recap 2 – Parents, please understand that I make every

Absent/Injury Reminder–
Please remember that if a player cannot make practice, please
contact a coach (call or email). If you feel they have an injury
that needs our attention, please let us know. If they cannot
perform at practice due to an injury, we will at least try to
keep them involved in watching and learning the plays. Any
players missing time during preseason will somehow have to make
up the lost time thru extra effort and/or studying plays. We
certainly understand everyone has various obligations, and we do
our best to work within a fair manner to all. Missing practices
during the season generally equates to game time missed.
