Final: SHG survives Waterloo 28-16

[Formicidae13]

It’s 16-14, Waterloo up. I fixed my scores

 

[rink62221]

I think it's 16-14.

Big run Waterloo by a Big Boy.

 

[Formicidae13]

Big Waterloo run gets to the 50 yard line, Dogs are driving

A few weeks back I was in a checkout line at Wal-Mart in Belleville behind a young man with a Waterloo football shirt on. I asked him if his team was going to make the playoffs. He said, "yes, but we'll probably are going to lose in the first round. We're not that good."

I reshared misinformation.

 

[crusader_of_90]

Waterloo looks to be better. Wow ….

 

[crusader_of_90]

Not that play.

 

[Formicidae13]

Turnover on downs after going for 4th and a half, giving SHG the ball at their own 45

 

[crusader_of_90]

Shg ball.

 

[crusader_of_90]

First down at the 30 shg. Run for 5. Mascoutah encroqchment on the hadd count.

 

[rink62221]

Although, there is no audio broadcast on NFHS, I do like the lighted down markers so at least you can tell down and distance.

 

[crusader_of_90]

TD SHG.

TIME OUT.

and yeah. Lighted is kinda extra.

 

[Formicidae13]

Cyclones touchdown pushes them ahead. Two point try is good to make the score 22-16

 

[crusader_of_90]

Shg up.

 

[Formicidae13]

SHG gets the ball back after a three and out. They will start at their own 26 with less than 5 to play

 

[crusader_of_90]

Did not plan to watch this game - I want to get to Clemson. Way to go Waterloo for hanging!

 

[crusader_of_90]

SHG big TD ... Clemson time,

 

[rink62221]

Yup. Settling for field goals are not going to get you past SHG, even on a down day.

 

[Formicidae13]

Another Cyclone touchdown just about seals this one up. Following a two point try, they lead 28-16. Probably around 3 minutes left for a miracle

 

[Formicidae13]

28-16 is your final, hats off to Waterloo for making this a game.

Hearing Ken Leonard wasn't coaching tonight due to the flu. Any truth to this?

If that's the biggest mistake you make for the rest of the year, SMILE!!

By the way, I missed watching Hickey play, and IHSA Archives does not have the championship game(s) he played in. Is there ANYWHERE on the internet to see him in his Althoff days? Thanks for any info!

I am a 618 guy but Waterloo could not end his career. That would make me sick.

But kudos Bulldogs for putting up such a fight.

Clemson time

Sloppiest I've seen SHG in years. 5 offsides. Couple of holding. One OPI. Leonard missed game due to flu. 4 of the offsides were one DT who.I don't think was a regular starter.

Waterloo had their own problems. Five false starts. Several holds. Two personal fouls plus a horse collar tackle thar move a already great KO return to their own 10.

The whole team seemed disjointed for 3 quarters. Lott's worst passing night with his b
second INT of the year being a pick six. RECEIVERS dropping easy passes
But his leadership and running were largely responsible for the 21 point 4th quarter.

John Allison. Acting HC, said they needed a game like this. Not only having to play a 4 quarter game but also getting punched in the nose and surviving it

Oh well. On to week 3 and Murphysboro

What he hell??? Wow! Not sad, but have been following Toriano Pride.

I hate them. Sophomore year mud pit in the quarters.

Knowing Ken Leonard like I have over the years....that has to be one hell of a flu to miss a game....

I suspect that it was not as.much about him as not wanting to infection any of the team at this point. Coach Allison is the designated heir

He could ha e just worn a cloth mask.

 

[The_Oldfan]

Can't be too cautious this time if year. I've seen teams racked by flu outbreaks lose critical games

I watched the end of this game, I had never heard of Waterloo Il.
Only Waterloo Ia. so I had to look them up on a map! They are pretty far south, hats off to them for almost pulling off the upset!

SHG almost met their Waterloo!! I can only envision what some newspapers would have done with that tagline!

 

[MalleusMaleficarum]

A bit of trivia I just discovered. The Waterloo extra point kicker, Alexis (Lexi) Stephens was trained by Louie Aguiar, former NFL punter who I believe even spent some time with the Bears. She had 3 field goals and 1 extra point in the Bulldogs' 28-16 loss to the Cyclones. In other words, she accounted for 10 of their 16 points. Quite impressive in my mind.
