Youth Football

Carver Park in and then out again

DANVILLE — The roller coaster season of the Carver Park Varsity and junior varsity teams came to an end on a roller coaster day.

Earlier on Friday, team coach Eric Felix was told that the teams will play in the championship games on Sunday, but by late afternoon, the Central Illinois Youth Football League pulled the plug on the title games altogether.

“The pressure was on them because I thought they broke the by-laws of the league for what they did in the first place,” Felix said. “Now instead of just our kids being out of it, now all the kids are out of it.”

The CIYFL kicked out the Bears’ teams on Sunday at a special meeting because of poor sportsmanship

Felix said the league’s reason for the cancellations was safety for the field in Rantoul, where the title games were to be held.

“They said that they wanted to preserve the field for the high school teams,” Felix said. “There should be hundreds of fields available though that day and we could have played elsewhere.”

Felix said that while the title games are cancelled, today’s games between Carver Park and the East Park Giants will go on as scheduled at 11 a.m. at Ellsworth Park.
