Fenwick dashes into state quarters

Guys on the offensive line don’t get a lot of publicity. Right, wrong or otherwise, they do their jobs effectively and by and large are under the radar. But after Fenwick’s 38-13 smashing of Hononegah Saturday in the second round of the IHSA Class 6A playoffs, a lot of guys on the line stood out. One in particular, according to coach Matt Battaglia. “We’ve really seen the emergence of Charlie Becker,” he said. “He’s been our starting left guard. He started off and was solid, and in the last five or six games, he’s picked up and provided continuity.” Becker, a senior, said there are lots of reasons for that praise. “I think what’s made the difference for me is the team,” he said. “We have been competing more and more in practice and it’s helped not just me, but everyone, raise the bar on our physicality and focus. Personally, I’ve worked hard to improve my overall energy, focus and fundamentals in practice to prepare myself as best I can for each team we face.” Add s
