About this Article

A "welcome home, champions" rally for the Aurora Christian School football team reminded everybody in the gymnasium what the Eagles think life is all about. The cheerleaders roused the crowd with a cheer: "Humble in victory, our only boast is this. ... At ACS, we always play for Him!" The team returned Saturday afternoon from Champaign, where it won its second consecutive Class 3A state title.
