Boosters to ask for permission to put up lights at soccer field

CHAMPAIGN – Central High School's boys' junior varsity soccer team never plays a full game at home. Later in the season, they sometimes don't get to play their scheduled games at all.

Their field, next to Franklin Middle School, has no lights. The players get out of their last hour of class to start the games by 4 p.m. The varsity team plays first, and then the junior varsity plays two 20-minute halves, rather than the regulation 30 minutes.
