ESL had the Post Dispatch players of the year too - so there!
Would have been a barn burner - but Southern Swagger would prevail!
Best team in the state (year by year)

Best of luck to the Flyer Nation! I've been a fan for years and of course love the SWAGGER!
ClownBaby... thanks for the support and kind words. I will say, though, that our 07 team was NOT the best NN team as I have followed the program since the school opened.
All time best NN teams ranking...
#1 1989
#2 1993
#3 TIE 1988, 2002, 2007
#6 1987
#7 TIE 1992, 1994
#9 1995, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2008
Does this board hold enough sway that we can demand scheduling of these two Swagger Squads to play Week 1 next year?
Was '89 the Dave Garnett team? 1993 team was loaded but got a terrible playoff draw and got upset in the first round by DGS if I remember correctly. The 1993 WWS/ NN is still one of the largest crowds I've ever seen at a high school game.
I really liked the 2007 team when they spread teams out and let Wunderlich run the ball, there just weren't many kids that could tackle him 1 on 1.
Dave Garnett was on the 1988 team that was beating ESL (@ESL) at halftime. Our star RB (Pete Lombardo) broke his leg (just before halftime) and there was NO AMBULANCE to transport him to the hospital. ESL pulls it out at the end, winning by a few points. We win the game without the injury (and the long time delay- killed our momentum). Our 1993 team was rated #1 in the state, and was paired up in the first round with #2 (undefeated) Downers South. Downers won the game by one point on the last play of the game. Downers went on to lose in the title game against Loyola. We were sooo close so many years, but only made to the title game three times.
GW will be at our place week 1 looking for revenge after the Debacle at Duchon.
Yes, it will be Revenge by the Runways

I’d argue the 94 team was as good as any. Lavelle brown and scott K were ridiculously talented and the o line was dominant
Levelle Brown was a dominate player (on both sides), but his class was not a deep one. Kavanagh, Walsh, and Jurjovec were only juniors. Very good team (probably better than '92) thanks to the juniors, but not top 4 IMHO. Still say 89, 93, 88, and 07. Thanks King MJ for your input, what other NN teams did you get to see? Nice to have another old school poster!
Lest we forget, NN had to play Downers on a Wed also after going 9-0 in DVC. '93 was last year of the Wed playoff game and '94 went to 1-32.
Hook and lateral by WWS in 1993... worst moment in sports history. God is punishing the Tigers today for running that play 24 years ago.
I played against 92-94 and saw most through early 2000 a lot and sproradically since.
I can tell you the 94 team was the hardest to prep for because of everything kavanaugh could do.
93 team executed better but really didn’t have the same level of talent at qb which made all the difference in that scheme. Agreed defense was a little better but not by that much.
Kavanagh better passing QB, Ryan Furstenau better runner and ran the double wing flawlessly. Thanks King
