As odd as this may sound, most Illinois high school football coaches and players will tell you that the best day to practice is Thanksgiving morning. Best wishes this weekend to all still practicing! Good day for all of us to count our many blessings! Happy Thanksgiving!

It is becoming apparent that several HS programs may not be able to purchase helmets this fall if needed. If you are in need or may be able to help please let the IHSFCA or myself know. Let's make sure all who want to play can start with the equipment needed. Email or Tweet.

Note of Thanks! As I was stopped at a school cross walk and watched a cross guard help a group of kids across a busy street when it was 10 outside it made me think. How many people started a cold car, bus or stood in the cold today to help kids learn. Hope your day was a success!
