    Althoff Football Reunion

    Remember that place pretty well. The railroad tracks ran behind the visitor's stands. One other game I remember was '92. Week 9 and SHG had to have a win to get in the playoffs. We scored very late in the game and then went for 2 for the win. We did a QB run behind center and I thought for sure...

    Althoff Football Reunion

    He was probably one of the best athletes/football players to ever come out of Griffin/SHG. He's one of the first ones I think of out of a slew of athletes that have come out of there over the years.

    Was there one game that put your school on the map?

    For SHG the game I would say that stands out is the 2008 semi-final win over Providence Catholic, at Providence. The Celtics came out extremely confident, thinking they had an easy win coming and would move on to the championship game. They had come down to Springfield the previous year and...

    Althoff Football Reunion

    I can remember quite a few games between SHG and Althoff, and also Griffin High School, (pre-1988) as it has only been SHG since 1988. One playoff game I remember was 1979, (yes I'm old). The game was played in Springfield and Althoff had the better team, plain and simple. They had a much...

    CS8 Predictions-Week 8

    I agree Rat. There is a "hidden" advantage to having a first round road game, depending of course on where that game would be. If the Cyclones were fortunate enough to win that they could possibly have a second round game at home. This year it's been a "one game at a time" scenario in my...

    CS8 Predictions-Week 8

    I am wondering when people say they are "shocked" by the Mac win over SHG, do these people actually attend the games and watch or do they just look at the scores and make a judgement? For anyone who has followed the program and actually goes to the games, it is quite obvious that they don't have...

    CS8 Fall Schedule

    This is not CS=8 related but I noticed that Decatur St. Theresa put out their fall schedule. They now are playing as an independent after being voted out of their conference. They are playing the likes of Stockton and Lena-Winslow, (both regulars in the state finals year in and year out) 5A...

    CS8 Prediction Week 14 SHG vs PC

    Yes the Titans will probably be young and may struggle. I wouldn't be surprised to see a number of sophmore starters on their varsity team. They had a couple of massive sized linemen on that freshman team last year, big enough that I kind of did a double take when I saw them. It was hard to...

    CS8 Prediction Week 14 SHG vs PC

    Yes, Rat totally correct on the Titans' freshman team. I went and saw the SHG/Chatham freshman game last year and it was no contest. Chatham mauled the Cyclones and also outnumbered them player wise by a large margin as well. That team (for Glenwood) is loaded with size and talent. Lehnen is a...

    CS8 Prediction Week 14 SHG vs PC

    That's kinda cryptic, Rat. Care to elaborate?

    Interested to see this weekend if….

    It makes no difference where the fans were from that purchased tickets. The fact that it was up 18 percent from the previous year is good enough. Let's keep the tournament in Champaign for years to come. No need to move it anywhere else. As for us folks that stay home and watch the games on...

    CS8 Prediction Week 14 SHG vs PC

    SHG outplayed the Celtics in that game for 3 and a half quarters and should have won. NLP had no answer for Matt Mitrione, and others on what was probably one of the best defensive teams the Cyclones have ever put on the field. I believe the Wells brothers, Ryan and Eric were on that team along...

    Central Illinois Proposal to improve competition

    Well, I think Normal U High might have something to say about being lumped together with Normal Community, Normal West and Peoria High, since those are all much larger schools. Secondly, last I had heard, Mt. Zion is perfectly happy in the Apollo. As for Mahomet I don't know, but I would have to...

    CS8 Predictions Week 12

    Not sure if you have seen this info yet Old Fan but next year the Cyclones' first game is at 7A Normal Community. I haven't seen the rest of the schedule and it may not even be out just yet but it will be a grind next year. Away games at Normal Community, Rochester, Chatham and Decatur...

    CS8 Predictions Week 10

    Better enjoy this year Rat. I'm not sure if you're aware but you may be. Look on the Glenwood website at the freshman results for this season that just concluded. They totally crushed every other CS-8 freshman team, including Rochester and SHG. They also happen to dress nearly 60 players. SHG...

    7 on 7's this summer

    All good points. And yes it does help with team chemistry. Another important part is the reps between center and QB. One of the few spots SHG has to replace this year is the center. With all of their snaps being from shotgun (with the exception for end of the game kneel downs) it's good to get...

    7 on 7's this summer

    Well, you can call it whatever you like, and I realize it's not real football. With that said, I would like to see anyone try to cover the receivers they have coming back this fall, and have success. The year they went down and won the Georgia 7 on 7 tourney they competed with some extremely...

    7 on 7's this summer

    Does anyone have any info on any 7 on 7's taking place this summer? I know in the past there's been a big one at Northwestern and several others throughout the state, and out of state as well. I know SHG has had them at their place a time or two, and they participated (and won) a big one in...

    For those of you who can remember 1993

    I don't think that system of pairing playoff teams was "disgraceful", nor was it "biased". The fact is you played where they sent you. Yes, they did do it geographically to keep a first round game from being a 150 mile trip on a Wednesday night. It was the playoffs, meaning you play your best...
