12 | May 9, 2019 | the new lenox patriot news newlenoxpatriot.com Children, parents enjoy day with Knights football program SEAN HASTINGS, Editor Nothing beats the Friday night lights during a football season. The whole town comes out to the respective schools they root for, packing the stands to watch their team play. But something that ranks right up there with that is the time a parent can spend with their child on a football field. Local residents had the chance to do that as the Lincoln-Way Central football program hosted a father/son camp. Some mothers and daughters came out to participate as well. The camp was led by head coach Jeremy Cordell, his assistants and some players. The campers and their parents participated in multiple drills including tackling stations (with a bag), throwing stations, catching stations and different agility stations as well. All the drills are ones that families can apply in the backyard. The weather could not have been better as the parents and their children worked up a sweat just like a real football team. Campers and their parents were led by drills the Knights football team does at practice every day. “Anytime you can incorporate family into the program with football, that’s a win win,” Cordell said, who also had his children in attendance. “It’s one of the best things we do. We hold youth camps, middle school camps and other stuff. But this is one of the best we do.” Being able to be the head coach and also jump in the drills with his kids is special, he said. “I actually get to be a dad here,” he said. There were smiles all around as the campers and their parents competed in SAINT BERNARD Catholic Church 1301 Sterling Ave • Joliet, IL 815-726-4474 Saturday Vigil Mass ........5:30 PM Sunday Mass ..................9:00 AM Tuesday & Thursday .......7:30 AM For All Your Real Estate Needs National Advantage Real Estate 328 E.

One of those campers was Mokena resident Chase Carter, who spent the morning with is dad Keith. Chase’s favorite part of the camp was the passing and tackling. “I think I did the best at those,” he said. Chase also said he wants to play football when he grows up. But for now, he has his first tackle season coming up. And that is one thing Cordell loves to see: kids who come to the camp and want to be and eventually become Knights. “We’ve been doing this for five years and there are kids who have been here every year,” Cordell said. “They were in third grade, now they’re in eighth grade. It’s a lot of fun.” The Knights are hosting a four-day youth camp the week after the Fourth of July.
