This past weekend, the Coyotes hosted the Rockford Ravens in a tough, physical battle. The home team started out slow and went into the half down 17-7. After the break, Coyotes started to take over. A pair of quick tries within two minutes helped turn the tide as the home team began to put pressure on the Ravens. At the final whistle, Coyotes take full points with a 28-17 victory. We had to award the Man of the Match awards to two individuals as they stood out for us - Shelton Mudzingwa and Scott Dooley.

Game Week vs Rockford Ravens - September 17th

This past weekend, the Coyotes traveled to Elk Grove Village to take on the Northwest Woodsmen.

Our man of the match was Ryan Lennon!

This past weekend, Lake County Coyotes traveled to Lemont to compete in Firehouse 7s. The team fought in a tough 5-team pool, consisting the likes of Chicago Blaze, Chicago Riot, Grand Rapids Gazelles, and Fox Valley Chiefs. The team played their hearts out, which included debuts from 4 new players! We finished the day with a 2-1-1 record, and narrowly missed out on a semi-final on try differential. While it hurts to have the team come up just short of the playoffs, the coaching staff is proud of the strides we made over the summer.
