After an unexpected weather warning, the Friday home game was moved to Monday, April 12. The Chester football team had an incredible win against Sesser, posting a 20-14 victory.

Three touchdowns were scored in the game.

In the first quarter, Jordan Merideth had a 46-yard run, followed by a Jared Landeros extra point kick. Before the second half, Cooper Eggermeyer scored on a 34-yard pass from Dylan Kelkhoff, which was followed again by Jared Landeros kick. After going back and forth, the winning touchdown was scored by Jordan Merideth, who had a 21-yard run. After the incredible run, Justin Clendenin had an interception which was the final nail in the coffin.
Kelkhoff injured his non-throwing hand in the second half, but the quarterback’s status is uncertain for the next game at Carmi-White County on April 16. After a 3-1 start, the Yellow Jackets look forward to Saturday’s game.
