ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - Although these two teams played against each other Saturday, they came together for something bigger than football.
It was not just any game, it was a charity game for a member of the Byron community Ryker Hoppe, son of Byron grad and cheerleading coach Emily and Pecatonica alum Chris. Just a few weeks ago at five years old Ryker was diagnosed with a brain tumor. They raised money together as a community at the game Saturday.
