Football: Warriors knocked off stride

Warriors fifth at windy UEC tournament
Depth and strong individual play. Those are the two
characteristics needed for a girls golf team to be successful, and St. Charles East had plenty of both as it marched to an Upstate Eight Conference title on a cold, windy Tuesday.
