A pattern is developing on the north side of Kenosha.The Carthage football team runs into a few really good opponents, gets blown out, wins a few games, then goes back to another elite opponent and another lopsided loss.It's just life for the Firebirds right now, who sit at 2-4 overall and a respectable 2-3 mark in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin midway through the season.Considering how good the conference looks, with North Central, Washington University of St. Louis and Wheaton leading the way, and Carroll and Illinois-Wesleyan also with better records than Carthage, wins are still going to be hard to come by the rest of the season, but at least things will get easier.
