Local roundup: Aristotle Nakos helps Mount Carmel advance
Mount Carmel's Aristotle Nakos didn't have to wait long for his chance at redemption. Two plays after his fumble kept East St. Louis' hopes alive Saturday night, Nakos, a senior running back/defensive back, intercepted Eric Johnson's pass with 33 seconds left. That sealed the Caravan's 21-18 upset over the defending state champions in a Class 7A quarterfinal at Gately Stadium. Read more about the Caravan upset here.
