Aviators Roll To 3-0

The highly anticipated battle between the Sycamore Aviators and the Harrison Wildcats did not come close to living up to its expectations. Sycamore scored early and often as they cruised to a victory in Harrison, by a score of 39-14.
Both teams entered the game at a perfect 2-0, but it was clear from the start that Sycamore would prevail in this one.
The Aviator defense was stunning, allowing just 28 first half yards. Harrison did not score in the first half.
On the other side of the ball, QB Mitch Allen had another fine game on the ground with 117 rushing yards, while throwing for 147 more. The first score of the game was a 2 yard TD run by Mike Latessa. He would finish the game with 78 rushing yards on 11 carries. He also added another touchdown. Allen rushed for 2 as well, including an incredible 55 yarder. He also threw a 40 yard strike that WR Mike Byrd caught for a touchdown.
"The team did a nice job against Harrison...There are still areas that need improvement as we enter the GMC, but I am obviously pleased with our early success," said first-year head coach Scott Dattilo.
The Aves will travel to Princeton next week to take on the Vikings, before opening their new stadium on September 22nd against Oak Hills.
Sycamore Athletic Director Jim Stoll said that it will be worth the long wait. "There is a viewing area which was built from excess dirt from the field which is called the Aviator Landing Zone, just inside the new main entrance. Locker rooms, press box, goal posts, ceremonial entrance, handicap seating and several other improvements were part of the renovation as well," Stoll explained.
As this may be the start of a new page in Aviator football tradition, it is only fitting that the fans and players will have a new and improved facility in which to enjoy football.
