Roxanne-A Putting on the Red Light

[crusader_of_90]

If the red light means scoring, which they have been doing in bunches. The program was nurtured by Charlie Raich and I remember the Althoff v Roxana 4A playoff games in the 1980s. Tough blue-collar kids and as Coach Schott would comment, "They are pissed off all of the time because their town smells so badly."

The program is surging again - 4-and was ranked 10 in 3A last week before whipping Columbia 37-0 on Friday. they return 12 starters from last year's playoff team that made it to round two.

They are scoring in bunches and have given up 13 points on the year. Should be a tough out in 3A.

My high school played Roxana in the playoffs in the mid 80's. We scored the first TD and last TD in the game. In between, the Shells scored 56 points.

All.... 57 looked it up. (If I have the right one) A game to blot out of ones mind. ☺️ But the real story is a Redskin leaving and moving into rocket land. Don't know why but the two towns despise each other having talked with many of the participating combatants on both sides. ✌️ Ratsy

Their fans pelted our players with peanuts ... the Shells were a mean program!!! We loved that stuff back then. It was harmless, but like pro wrassling, brought the heat!

I played up there in the 9th grade. We all swore we had cancer afterwards lol.

You are correct! There are actually a fair number of Chatham grads that have ended up in Rochester. It does get heated between the two towns, and it tends to start at an early age not just in football but also baseball and soccer.

If they would just close Madison and put them with Granite City, that could be a powerhouse.

I remember watching them lose to Providence my senior year(1987) 14-7 in the state finals of 4A. It was PC's first football championship.

That was my freshman year and I was devastated that my buddies lost that game. The seniors were friends of mine as I had a sister who was the manager for the team and I hung out with them all in the neighborhood.

This team needs a bump. I think they may come out of the south for 3A.
