Everything Soccer

Picture found in History.com

Over the weekend of Saturday, September 17th soccer fans had lots of exciting content to consume. Not only did Joliet soccer fans have two major league games, but they have new teams forming in the Troy schools.  

With Mexican Independence day has held on Friday 16th everyone was waiting for the soccer games on Saturday. They weren't disappointed with the day starting with the Mexican League game Club America taking on C.D Guadalajara, the final scoreboard two to one. This game did not count for Liga MX, the cup in which both teams are still participating this year. The game was concerned to be a practice-friendly game or a Classico (classic) in the Mexican League. 


More locally in the Chicago area, the American League held a game in Solder field stadium to celebrate the start of the Hispanic month. Chicago Fire FC played against Charlotte FC, this game did count for Major League Soccer.  The final scoreboard read three to two, with Chicago Fire FC taking the win and standing at 12th place in the Eastern Conference while Charlottle stands in 9th place. 


Chicago Fire did take an early lead of two points during the first half. However, the game was tied by the 75th minute in the second half.  The game would have remained tied if it was not for Karol Swiderski scoring the winning goal during the added seven minutes at the end of the game. 


Even more locally Troy District 30 started its first year of having a soccer team.  All seven schools have created a boy and girl soccer team with the boys playing in the fall and the girls in the spring. These two new teams will be part of the 18 sports that the Troy schools have to offer. Summer camps for the students were held during the summer and tryouts were held sometime after school started.

First Lion Electric School Bus in Joliet

 Noëllie Inard Credit: www.chicagotribune.com  On Wednesday, November 2nd, Lion Electric announced the end of the production of its first LionC zero-emission electric school bus at its Joliet factory. In May 2021, Lion Electric, a Canadian-based manufacturer of commercial vehicles, selected Joliet to hold its future US manufactory due to a growing demand for electric school buses in the United States.

The EPA Clean Bus Program is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a law that the Congress recently passed under President Joe Biden and which aimed to invest “ in [the] nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness,” according to the White House. The company’s efforts have paid off since they have now 700 electric vehicles on the road.       Lion Electric promised on January 2022...
