The young Bobcat team played well at times and hung around for most of the game, but unfortunately did not have enough to top the Eagles and fell by three scores in the season-opener.

Eagle and Cardinal fans, alike, packed the stands of Lendon Martin Memorial Stadium last Friday night to see Chester County down Adamsville 21-14 in what the Cards hoped would be a redemption game after falling to CCHS by a touchdown in 2011; one of only two losses they suffered all season.

The theft is under investigation. If you see this RV, call the Sheriff’s Department.
