LABOR DAY MORNING! NOW, TURNING TO FOOTBALL. THIS IS MAQUOKETA'S FOOTBALL FIELD, GOODENOW FIELD. GRUBS IN THE GRASS. YOU CAN'T SEE
IT, BUT A GRASS SPRINKLER WAS GOING AS I TOOK THIS PICTURE. THE FIELD
WAS BAD FOR THE OPENING GAMES A WEEK AGO AND SINCE THEN THEY HAVE
BEEN WORKING HARD TO IMPROVE THE TURF. THE NEXT GAME IS STILL
NEARLY 2 WEEKS AWAY, SO HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BE BETTER BY THEN. WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS PROBABLY THE WORST PART OF THE FIELD. THE UNDER-GRADE
GAMES ARE NOT BEING PLAYED HERE BUT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL PRACTICE FIELD
INSTEAD.
AND...MAQUOKETA WON FRIDAY NIGHT, DEFEATING MT. VERNON, 23 TO 17, IN A
NON-DISTRICT GAME. THE CARDINALS ARE NOW 2 AND 0 AND NEXT WEEK WILL TRAVEL TO VINTON-SHELLSBURG. THEN, BACK HOME THE WEEK AFTER TO
HOST CENTER POINT-URBANA.
