Football Bows Out

The SHS Football team saw its season come to an end with a heartbreaking 9-6 loss to Rochelle in the first round of the IHSA Class 5A playoffs on October 28.

A Rochelle field goal in the early stages of the 4th quarter proved to be the difference in the game.

Sterling’s high-powered offense was held in check all game by an inspired Rochelle defense, which forced 5 Golden Warrior turnovers.

Sterling ends the season with a final record of 9-1.
