Friday night, Aurora Central Catholic will be celebrating “Senior Night” as the Chargers host Wheaton Academy at Bob Stewart Field. 12 Varsity Football players and their parents will be honored in a pre-game ceremony, along with other seniors from the ACC Fall Sports season.
“Senior night is a special time for both parents and players,” ACC Head Coach Brian Casey said. “I have had the privilege of coaching this group of kids all four years of their high school careers, so it is a nice moment to reflect on.”
This years seniors include: Aaron Blatner (North Aurora), Kevin Bond (Plano), Kyle Clechenko (St. Charles), Matt Musuras (Sugar Grove), Kyle Ritli (Aurora), Jesse Valenzuela (Plano), Marcus Jefferson (Aurora), Nick Holzer (Yorkville), T.J. Stoll (Aurora), Joe Anger (DeKalb), Alex Karafiat (Aurora), A.T. White (Aurora)
“These kids have helped get the ACC Football program back into the conversation,” Casey said. “They already to this point have more wins than any senior class in the last nine years. The different intangibles that each individual brings to our football team is very unique. They are had workers, good football players, funny kids and great members of society.”
Senior night marks the last regular-season home game for the Chargers in 2011. The Chargers enter the game this evening with a 3-1 record at home, and have a mark of 6-3 at Bob Stewart Field over the last two years. Kickoff tonight against Wheaton Academy is scheduled for 7:30, Senior Night festivities will take place immediately following the sophomore game.
