It is the first weekend of the Illinois high school football season and both the Lawrenceville Indians and Red Hill Salukis get underway Friday night. The Indians will look to rebound from a winless 2018 campaign as they head to Bush Field in Marshall to meet the Lions in Little Illini Conference play. The contest also marks the debut of new Indian head coach Travis Reider. The game can be heard on Lite 103 WAKO beginning with the pregame show at 6:45 p.m. Central Time 7:00 kickoff with Steve Anderson and Bill Richardson. The Salukis of Billy Gray open at home when they host the Flora Wolves in LIC play at Red Hill Junior-Senior High School football field in Bridgeport. The Salukis were 8-2 last season but lost a number of experienced varsity players including all-time leading rusher Drew Moore to graduation. Catch the Saluki action on The Legend 99.3 FM and AM 910 with Ryan Seed and Bryce Thompson. Pregame at 6:45 p.m. Central Time 7:00 kickoff.
