Weekend Event: Lake County Cowboys Football (part 1)

Your Lake County Cowboys

Last week, I mentioned the news about Kevin Costners new baseball team coming to Zion, the Lake County Fielders. I just recently learned that Lake County has also a new semi-pro football team. Ladies and Gentlemen, lets welcome the Lake County Cowboys to Round Lake!

That's right. The Spartans Youth Football Program and the Round Lake Park District, has allowed the Cowboys to use the Ron Schmidt Football Field for their home field games this year.

The team is in it's third year now. They are part of Gridiron Football League. They will compete with nine other teams from Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.

The cool thing about these games are that they are free. All games are played on Fridays at 7:00 PM. I can't make tonight's home opener but this sports junkie will be catching the action soon.

Here is the full schedule:
June 5: Kenosha Cougars
June 12: at Racine Gladiators
June 19: Racine Heat
June 26: Lake Shore Lynx
July 3: Bye week
July 10: South Milwaukee Rage
July 17: at Oak Creek Renegades
July 24: Union Grove Knights
