The United Red Storm football team ended their season last Saturday afternoon on a muddy field in Gilman, Illinois with a loss to the Iroquois West Raiders. It was the first playoff appearance for the Red Storm since 2015. United head coach David Milroy says after the season got off to a rough start at (1-3), he was proud of the way the team responded with five straight wins to earn themselves a postseason berth. Milroy said the turnaround was due, in part, to the senior leadership and the entire roster’s willingness to do whatever it takes to win. He hopes the successful season will spark a resurgence of consistent success for the football program.
The team that defeated the Red Storm in the first round, Iroquois West, will now take on Abingdon-Avon on Saturday in Abingdon in the second round of the playoffs. We’ll have that game on Sunny 97.7 WMOI, with the pregame at 12:40, followed by the kickoff at 1:00.
