Red Devils ride Piccatto to first win

SPRING VALLEY —Longtime Hall assistant coach Steve Smith had a little explaining to do when he finally got his chance to belt out his "Whose King of Rock and Roll" lyrics to the Hall Red Devils. They hadn't seen it since last year, but they all relished the moment.

Smith and the Red Devils gang got to pay homage to Nesti Stadium namesake Richard Nesti, the legendary late Hall football coach and beloved King of Rock Roll with a 48-14 win on Senior Night Friday over Kewanee, breaking out in a big way for their first win of the season.

"Yeah, we knew it. We did it once last year. We knew what it was," said senior running back Landon Piccatto. "That's what you're striving for, especially to get Mr. Smith to do the King of Rock and Roll. It's upsetting that's the only time we've done it this year, but at least we did it once."
