The battle-tested Dawgs are back in the FCS Playoffs, and head coach Nick Hill found some time to talk to us about their first-round matchup with Weber State this Saturday.

Anthony Hargrove is entering his fourth season as head coach of the Christopher-Zeigler-Royalton co-op football team.  Matt Varney went out to practice to talk with Coach Hargrove about the program finally reaching the maturation point, studs on the team like Peyton Mazur (who is receiving attention across the state) and Cole Gelso, Hargrove's daughter Amiah - who should dominate on the basketball court the next four years - and more!

After a few weeks of having to take on teams from Missouri - one of which was on short notice - the Carterville Lions are set to finish their season at Van Metre Field in Du Quoin tonight.  Hear what Coach Brett Diel and voice of the Lions, Dave McKenzie, have to talk about.  Hear the game tonight on Newsradio 1340 AM & 99.5 FM:
