4A Game - All-Time Great Ken Leonard Gets the win 44-20
- Thread starter crusader_of_90
- Start date
We played Provi my senior year - all we were told was that they were a Chicago Wrestling Factory - tough kids.
Saturday night game - we shared a stadium with Belleville East and West and rarely got Fridays as the Catholic school. That morning, at the all-you-can-eat at the Ponderosa for breakfast with some teamates - I saw a pair of Provi parents eating breakfast.
Three things stood out - they did not make the same-day drive for a night game - that takes money - that stood out to me. All four were wearing Provi gear - what? This was 1990 and that type of stuff was not happening in Belleville, especially for Moms. Lastly, I nodded and tipped my cap as I passed their table coming back from the buffet - and I was not acknowledged. I was wearing gear and obviously knew why they were in my town.
Eff You.
Whipped that tail 35-0 and sent them a long bus ride home.

I didn’t know Ponderosa had breakfast buffet.
SHG with the big play to get to the red zone. Kinda surprised he got caught. And score next play. 7-0
Reminds me of my first encounter with JCA fans in 92. Nothing but a bunch of nerds who think having a kid standing on the sideline for 4 years somehow gives them "status" in their community. Goes to show money can't buy class.
Oh yeah ... big breakfast, a healthy afternoon dump - then fruit and Snickers bars.
How much was a hotel in Belleville in 1990? Could they have had family in the area? Odd observation
Attendance has been pretty pathetic with the exception of Tri Valley and Williamsville. At least that is how it looks on TV.
It cost more than gas.
It was Belleville - we drove game day to play our title games, Paduka and Cape Gerardo , as players. That they sent them down the night before for a night game, that was foreign to me.
We had no hotel games.
All that Joliet money😂
At some point, Ty Lott will pull back that outside handoff and take off. It is wide open.
PC had not given up more than 14 points so far in the playoffs. SHG looks to have too much speed for their defense.
Provi too many unwarranted deep shots. That’s not to their advantage
Biggest possession of the game so far. Plenty of time for SHG to score and get a 2 TD lead back. If PC gets a stop, they can tie it up to start the 2nd half.
"was the ball catchable?"
That is what the announcer said. I d onot believe that is the rule in HS.
Am I wrong?

The center and left guard are both seniors. #54 & #75
Lol that's what I get for listening to the announcers! Thanks for setting it straight
you are correct. These morons have said it all day
SHG has had opportunities to put it away early. Door has been left open for PC to start the second half. They are dangerous here.
Surprised to see so much deep ball throw it up from SHG. With their edge athletes I’d expect to see more slant game and maybe some QB runs in the second half.
