CHESTER, IL –  (Randolph County Herald-Tribune.  Please click on the link for the full story.  Here is an excerpt below.)

Quarterback Nick Meyer threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns, but Fairfield pulled away in the second half of a 56-22 win over Chester in the Yellow Jackets’ home opener on Friday

They’re good at what they do,” said Chester coach Billy Belton of Fairfield. “They run that super power real well and that counter and I thought they had 20 more offensive plays than we did and they just wore us down.”

Up next for Chester is a road trip to McLeansboro next Friday, where the Yellow Jackets will face another 0-2 team in Hamilton County. The Foxes were shut out by Johnston City, 14-0, on Friday.

“What I’ve seen is they’re a pistol, veer-option type team,” Belton said of Hamilton County. “Kind of like what we do.”
