T-Birds' task: "Keep pushing to get better'

Now that the North Callaway Thunderbirds have caught their breath, head coach Mike Emmons knows they can't afford to relax.

North Callaway stopped a three-game losing streak and picked up its first Eastern Missouri Conference win in the process with a 21-14 homecoming victory over Wright City last week. The Thunderbirds (2-4, 1-2 EMO) will try to create some further momentum tonight when they travel to Van-Far for a conference matchup. Kickoff is at 7.
