ESL's 300-pound line and superior three-headed running attack will likely lead the Flyers past DoDo Brown on the ground. I do think DDB will have to revert ro running because Flyers DBs are collectively superior to what MC has at WR.
Flyers dont have the 3 rbs attack anymore. MJC is still there. One transferred to ritter and another has a leg injury and out for the year I believe.

Plainfield E QB has faced ESL and even lead the Bengals to a lead in the 1st qtr against the Flyers, without any top recruits as teammates, just the neighborhood kids and the GOAT as a coach.

I just watched that game again last night, so it’s fresh in my memory, and that doesn’t match what I saw. PE didn’t score until its third possession, after the Flyers were already up 14-0. PE got a first down on a 25-yard pass, another on a pass interference call, then scored on a 20-yard pass. At halftime, it was 55-7. PE had just three first downs in the first half, two from penalties. I don’t have my notes with me, but 1st half offensive stats for PE were around 70 yards total offense 55/25. Final stats were 54 yards rushing and 94 yards (9-for-21) 0 INT.

His stats would obviously be better with MC’s players around him.
Kudos to him if Coach Lynch deems him the best QB on the team. I thought we had 3 very capable QB’s in the system already that have shown they were ready to lead the team.

They never lead in that game. PE went 4 plays, punt and Gomiller ran it back for a TD.

Not sure if you can take anything from that game for the qb as PE didnt really allow him to do anything.

Perhaps my memory is wrong, but I was under the impression they went up 7-0 then the avalanche came.

Even at 14-7 he had them right in striking distance 😏

MC has won, what, the last 4 or 7 games between these two and until they lose the money is on the Caravan!!!~ MC gets complacent in these games... One day they will have to learn to get mean and step on their opponents neck just to show that they can.
East St Louis won the first meeting between the 2 schools in '87 (6A semi). MC has now won in '88 (6A final), '95 (5A semi), '17 (7A Q), '18 (7A Q) and '23 (opener) for the 5-1 series lead.
