Best High School Football Stadium

I remember that 2011 JC vs SHG game. Coin toss and wind decided the game. I believe it was 28 to 0 after one quarter solely because SHG was going into wind.
special teams pinned them deep a few times and it was all over. But that wind was as vicious as I’ve ever seen in that stadium.
i can also remember you kicking high into the wind, my kor team dropped back to return the ball and the ball fell straight down around our 45 and jca recovered it. it was like a duck shot out of the air.
Doing great Gene. Been working from home for the past 2 months. At first I loved it but now it’s getting old. Never thought I would miss going into the office. It’s weird because every day has become the same as the day before it. I can’t tell what day of the week it is anymore. Still counting my blessings that everyone I know is healthy and looking forward to things returning to some sense of normalcy.
How bout you buddy? Hanging in there?
Glad to hear you doing okay! I'm doing okay. Being retired, nothing much has changed for the most part. The staying home gets to me so I take rides to the post office or to pick up some carry out food from restaurants. Kinda like the ground hog day movie in a way, same old, same old. Is your son thru with HS football?
And don't forget, plenty of parking on both sides for everyone.
yep. My youngest graduated high school last year. He just finished his freshman year of college at Illinois State. The last 1/2 semester for him was at home doing classes online. He’s dying to get back to campus. I don’t blame him.
I know what you mean about Groundhog Day. That’s a perfect description.
A fellow Sica lover.Sandburg used to play Moline some.Then I think a bunch of the old Sica South schools did
Reavis (and Sandburg) from the Southwest Suburban Conference actually played Friday night football back in the 1960s which was relatively uncommon at that "early" time.
Of the 8 schools in the Western Big Six, Moline's stadium ranks #8 and is also the only one without field turf.
I really miss the old week 9 Wednesday at 3:30 starts, those were even more CPS then the Thursday games. Think I’m going to try to make a Thursday 3:45 start every week! I’m a lock if there’s a double header
It’s amazing the crowds at HS football,so awesome.Lane tech is huge stadium and it’s packed.

This picture also captures the last moment all of the bathrooms at a CPS stadium were in full working order.
