ASNN365 - What a wonderful weekend full of excitement as the Will-Cook league kickoffs. As everyone headed out to the field, feels their team is headed to the superbowl. On this Sunday, every team is in first place... let's see who stays on top.

Amateur Sports split our initial coverage into two separate sites... We were at the Markham Patriots vs. Richton Park Raiders game (Rich South High School), as well as Matteson Bears vs. Eastside Bulldogs game (Lincoln Way North High School) shooting live video and capturing the game in motion.
