Joel White carries Carlinville football to playoff win over Riverton

CARLINVILLE — Carlinville football's run game provided just enough horsepower for its first playoff win since 2021. The No. 16 seed Cavaliers engineered 335 rushing yards and all four scores in an entertaining 35-28 opening-round victory over No. 17 Riverton Friday, Oct. 23, to advance to the first round of the Class 2A bracket, where they will visit top-seeded Johnston City (9-0). "It just feels great to finally win one," Carlinville junior running back Joel White said. White manufactured 222 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 36 attempts. Sophomore quarterback Colby Viseur added 52 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries, while sophomore fullback Ryan Cervi rustled up 61 yards on 10 carries to outlast the Hawks. Viseur supplied the go-ahead TD sneak at the goal line with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter after the Cavaliers (5-5) snuffed out a fake punt attempt to set up a short field for the offense. Perhaps unexpected was Cervi's effectiveness out of the Wing-T. "Joel's always been a grade above me and he's been a great running back, and I've just learned so much from him," Cervi said. "We try to switch it up and give me a few carries

IHSA Makes Changes for Co-Op Sports

Different schools, one team, a big change. In December 2025, the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) approved a new policy that impacts cooperative (co-op) athletic teams for the 2026-2027 school year: When two or more schools combine together to make a single joint team, and those schools have a combined enrollment of 3,500 students or more, that co-op team cannot compete in any postseason competitions or events.
