Royals commemorate milestone with huge win over Hawks

HINCKLEY – Denny Wiles walked out onto Hinckley-Big Rock’s soccer field Wednesday evening, a field he never had the chance to play on.

Standing next to current senior Jared Madden, Wiles, a member of the first H-BR soccer team in 1970, still was amazed at how far the program had come in 40-plus years.

“We didn’t have any of this. None of this existed,” said Wiles, a 1971 graduate of the school. “There were no fall sports so there was no reason to have lights or anything else. It was very different.”
