Upstate Eight Conference: October 2008 Archives

Upstate Eight Conference football teams won't have to head south in the fall any longer.

The league's two-year engagement with the SICA came to an end when St. Charles East thumped Thornridge 42-0 last week. The outcome of that contest was fitting as UEC teams went 11-3 against their SICA counterparts the past two years, including a 6-1 advantage in 2008.

Larkin football passed its first must-win test of the season last week, defeating Elgin in the Town Jug game.
