Wow! Good for Niles North!

 

[Redline9]

Both teams had their bands and cheer/dance teams at the game as well. Niles North had thundersticks and tshirts for students (adults could purchase the playoff shirts). Good job by Niles North hyping up the game and appreciating their role as a playoff host and putting all their effort into it.

Don’t make me cry man. Miss those old days where The Rockets,Stars & Olympians were their own & the areas were awesome & none of the BS that took over the areas. East was about to get lights too

And Rich South was a perfect example of I wish the playoffs were expanded back in the day like they are now. BC of the CPS strike only 1 team Lane Tech made the playoffs. They could/should have won state. They played so many games in a short time they were beat up & barely lost in round 1. Farragut wouldn’t play them unless lane used their JV. Well bc of the strike Rich South who wouldn’t have got in the playoffs at 6-3 was the last team in. They made the semifinals that year. I remember the light up Star on top of the scoreboard. When the area turned a bunch of thugs out past 1am thought the Star was lame & shot up the Star & scoreboard
