2006 Season Schedule
So year number two has come to an end. This year we played 26 games, traveled to three states, played in four tournaments, met a bunch of great people, made new friends and saw some old ones. The season ended with a 7 and 19 record, with wins coming against Elk Grove Village (2) , Milwaukee Cream Citys, Midway Marauders, Lockport Sleepers, Somanauk Blue Stockings, and the Wisconsin 5th Volunteers.
2006 also saw the team elect their first MVP, Greg ‘Long Arm” Pas. and Defensive Player of the Year, Chad ‘Chadder’ Petersen and also had two players participate in all 26 games, Steve ‘Old Man” Herald and Tom ‘ Mulehead’ McClelland.
2007 promises to be just as exciting with plans to travel back to Wisconsin, over to Indiana (will the road construction EVER end?) back out to Western Il. And possibly up to Michigan for the first time. Most of the same teams plus a few new ones will be making the trip to Downers’ Grove with plans for our Second Annual Plowboy Classic in the summer.
Big thanks to Heather and everyone at the Downers’ Grove Museum, Sue Herald and her seamstress squad for our cool looking uniforms, Caprice ‘Digits’ Zamora who put in as many hours keeping score as we did playing, and last but not least all of the ‘kranks’ who came out to watch and root us on.
A big HUZZAH!!!! From all of the Plowboys………THANKS!!!!!
