CHAMPAIGN – An Aurora Christian football team that likely would have been favored to successfully defend its 3A football state title anyway added Joel Bouagnon, a force on both sides of the ball who gave the Eagles a third Division I recruit.

It was the caliber of addition that could make a great team unstoppable – unless it fouled up the Eagles’ team chemistry.

After the Eagles blew past Tolono Unity, 42-12, in Friday’s 3A state title game, it was clear as can be that Bouagnon fit in just fine in the Eagles’ locker room after transferring from Burlington Central.
