A mysticism fills the heart of 28-year-old first-year Maconaquah football coach Mike Fenters whenever he thinks about Friday Night Lights as he prepares to face West Lafayette this week.

"It almost feels like time stops, you hear the wind blow and there's that moment of hush," Fenters said. "And I get to hear that every Friday night."

Fenters carries a torch of Indiana history — a legacy that traces itself back over 100 years to the seeds of professional football being planted in Pine Village, a 21-mile drive west of Lafayette.

...

Over 100 years and five generations later, the name of Fenters continues to be recognized across the state of Indiana. Mike Fenters leads Maconaquah who is 11-0 on the road against West Lafayette on Friday night for the IHSAA Class 3A sectional championship.

Neat little story.
