It was Senior Night at John “Jet” Johnson Field last Friday (October 19) honoring the senior football players, cheerleaders (Captain Erin Kurland and Melissa Jansen) and their parents during their final home game of their high school careers. With parents watching their sons, (some of whom have been playing football since they were seven or eight years old), step onto the home field for one final home game, emotions have a way of taking over, and bringing those seniors together with the rest of the underclassmen to form an unstoppable team. It was a special Friday night under those lights, and the Lyons seniors: Eddy Baisley, Erik Blair, Justin Boldt, Josh Debevec, Macrae Falce, Clint Hirschfeld, Billy Housley, and David Plute, were each doing their part to keep this senior season alive.This was a come from behind victory for the home side, as the Jefferson Saints got the scoring started with a long touchdown bomb in the opening drive.
