When I was a senior at St. Francis in the mid 80s a team we were playing had a kid that jumped offsides 4 straight times (same kid). At the end of the game he had jumped offsides 9 times. In the second half of the same game the opposing team was penalized for having too many players on the field on a play. After the referees walked off the 5 yards the clock started and my team broke the huddle. Right after we broke the huddle the refs tossed flags and called illegal substitution. The other teams coach stormed on the field and was screaming saying he had pulled the extra kid off the field. I was on the field standing right next to the ref that tossed the flag and heard him tell the opposing coach he had 13 kids on the first penalty and 12 on the second.
Last, at the end of a game against St. Eds a few weeks later, there was a huge fistfight between the teams. Benches cleared and St Ed coaches were involved (throwing punches). Even though the coaches never talked about what happened after, I later heard the IHSA got involved. It was SFs homecoming that night. My date got drunk and threw up all over me. As I dropped her off she had vomit all over her as 2 of her girlfriends and I helped her to the door. My friend who was driving a rusty Buick stationwagon from the Dark Ages kept screaming at the top of his lungs from the car not to kiss her goodnight. Everybody in the valley of Glen Ellyn heard him yelling that night. She was so wasted we had to undress her to get her cleaned up. I will never forget she wore hot pink undies that night. I still bring it up at every class reunion. Well, not in front of her husband.
