“Everybody said it was Luther. It was Luther’s team. You can’t do anything without Luther, blah, blah, blah,” Junior QB Pops Battle said. “I feel like we have a better overall team this year.”

Looking forward to this game, my pregame drinking is going great for it! Lol
Sources say all that PR has been talking about is revenge! I hope they don't burn out early
From the Post:
The biggest question entering Saturday’s title game is how East Side’s defense performs against Prairie Ridge and its triple option offense. Last season Cary-Grove rode its clock-burning, yard-chewing, punishing triple-option to the championship. Prairie Ridge runs a similar style and it has one of the state’s all-time standouts pulling the strings.
Prairie Ridge senior quarterback Tyler Vasey has rushed for a single-season state record 3,776 yards and scored 52 touchdowns.
“That’s the key player in this game,” Flyers junior safety Leontre “Smiley” Bradford said.
The triple-option offense is such a relic of football’s past that few teams run it. East Side plays as good a schedule as it can put together but the only time it sees this type of offense is when it crosses paths with teams from northern Illinois in the playoffs. Mount Carmel ended East Side’s season in the quarterfinals in 2018 behind its option offense. Cary-Grove followed suit last season.

“You adjust during the game because you can’t simulate it during practice,” East Side coach Darren Sunkett said. “It’s just assignment football, figuring out their blocking schemes. That’s what hurt us last year. It took us awhile to figure out their blocking schemes. We feel like we’ve got it down. We feel like we studied all offseason on how to slow it down. We’re looking forward to Saturday to see if that pays off.”
PR can't afford any penalties the way they run this offense. And if they fall behind it's gonna be a long day.
TAKE VASEY OFF OF KOR …. THATS YOUR STAR PLAYER YOU CANT RISK HIM GETTING HURT
