East Side Sports Complex 2N300 Kirk Road
St Charles
Directions The East Side Sports Complex is the
St Charles home field.
The field is on the east side of Kirk Road, across from the Regole Farm, about a mile south of Main St/Rte 64. The entrance is just south of the intersection of Tyler and Kirk Rds.
The field is the first facility off the entrance driveway, just over the berm. Please do not park on the entrance road, nor on the grass. Please use the main parking lot south of the field.
There are no stands or bleachers. The elevated berm allows great sightlines of the action, however.
Is that a gray hair sprouting on Coach Thompson's jet-black scalp? Six JV games decided by a total of eight goals will do that to hue. Against Geneva at home, for example, the team fell behind 4-1 then came roaring back in the second-half to force overtime at 6-6.
And not just one sudden-death OT, but three. In those extra frames, goalie Bob Hollister turned away shot after shot until finally, to start the third OT, Luke Rabelhofer won the faceoff and raced toward the box. He found Charlie Smunt on the right wing, and Charlie took a step and then bounced a shot into the cage for the winner.
