Didn't look like East Side came out of the locker room till after half. First game and travel can do that to you. Were sluggish and getting handled up front in the first half. Aside from the things that happened at the end of the game, they looked very good in the second half.
Kid who was starting at guard beginning the year who was hurt should be back. Sophomore Guard #65 is hopefully back too. At least you have a base there.
Just a thought. Highland, Civic Memorial, Waterloo, Cahokia, Mater Dei, Althoff, Salem. Makes way more sense. Really you could add Breese Central, Roxana, Columbia, and Freeburg into that mix too.
I drove over that night, and got left at bar in Davenport! Give those guys a little break, Alleman had thrown the ball 12 times all season. I think they threw it 20+ times in the first half! Totally game-planned.
If we're looking at that game as a measuring stick. Let's remember it was 35-14 at half, and Unity being the outstanding coached team that it is, picked up a glitch in Althoff's Defensive Backfield, and took advantage. That was what game 4. It was fixed. I'm not picking a winner of Althoff...
He was trying not to be insulting to Althoff, with the furor going on with the transfer thing that's going on with the list of transfers being put out with no context.
He was as politically correct as he could be. Always thought he ran great programs. I can't remember where he went after, but it was another Central Illinois school where he was very successful.
Too funny you bring that up. Hud Venerable was on Twitter today commenting on the "scandal" today. Talking about the transfers from Assumption and others. He even brought up Sto, but I think, he thinks,
he was from Assumption.
I'm getting close to calling Dierre the best now, at Althoff. Hickey had a better run blocking line, but played better overall competition, so I'm still unsure in an opinion . Also, I think Bester was every bit as good as Ford. Just a different type of back. Ford was a specimen though!
