They are separated by more than 60 miles and on opposite ends of the metropolitan area, but for the first weeks of football season, Rock Ridge and St. Charles are nearly identical. The grass is still separated into freshly placed slabs of sod, so cleats sink into the ground as players trudge toward the field. The smell of wet paint is in the halls, and the white walls leading to the locker room are as clean as they will ever be. The dust from the construction covers the paved sidewalks, and yellow tape lets the fall athletes know where to walk and where to avoid. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
