The torrential downpour of rain that fell in our area Saturday affected a few football games that were attempted to played. The Abingdon-Avon Tornadoes played on Saturday night at Galesburg High School against Lincoln Trail Conference opponent Stark County. The game started at 6:00 and got to halftime before the rains came. But when they came, they did not stop until the game was finally called an hour and a half later with Stark County leading 21-0. It was the second loss of the season for a young Tornadoes ballclub after losing just two games all of last season. A major part of the losses have been turnovers. That bug-a-boo reared its ugly head in early in the game on Saturday night says A-Town head coach Rick Quinn.
The Tornadoes have another Saturday game this week in week 3 of the season. A-Town hits the road for a long trip to play West Carroll in Savana at 1:00. West Carroll is (0-2) with running clock losses against Durand-Pecatonica and Fulton. Du-Pec was #9 in the AP Class 3A Poll last week and Fulton was #7 in Class 1A.
