SHG 49 Rochester 42 FINAL

39-35 Rochester after three. SHG just crossed midfield after being pinned back at its 1.
 
22-yd TD pass Lott to Kyle Long. Receiver was well covered and snatched the ball out of the air. 42-39 with 9:02 to go.
 
Beginning to think the only way a defensive stop will occur is with a turnover.
 
Beatty is down with what appears to be a cramp. But he limps off the field. Holding call on play along with injury to Beatty could be a game-decider if Rochester cannot score on this possession.
 
Sack on third down. Rochester has to punt. Beatty on bench with his helmet off. SHG takes over following punt inside Rochester 35.

Rochester kicking field goal with 2 minutes to go ....it is good 49-42 with 1:49 left. I believe Rochester has all of its timeouts.
 
Onside kick doesn't go far enough. SHG ball at Rochester 49. 1:49 to go// 5 yd. gain on first Down. Time out Rochester. Short gain on 2nd down. TO Rochester. 1:37 to go.
 
Lott dumps off to RB Jackson on left side. Busts loose, down inside the Rochester 10.
Ballgame -- SHG will win 49-42 unless they go for the jugular, which would make for a tough next Thursday at the Leonard household.
 
MC, did you learn anything watching SHG taking a couple of victory formation snaps at the end of this game?

Man I love the Leonard Bowl. Just the absolute best of HS football. Good clean game with minimal penalties. Great execution. GREAT sportsmanship.

Found myself watching the coaches and players as the final seconds ticked down. SHG players consoling and hugging the defeated Rochester players. Actual "man hugs" by the coaching staffs.

Just PERFECT

Major props to the team at rocket tv and their server team. It’s not easy getting that many people online at one time to watch a game that was very clear not any buffering and great commentary by 1450 team. Wish I could of been there but this cough won’t stop and not thinking the cold air was a great idea
 
Did the commentators say Ken Leonard has 403 wins in 39 years? Is that accurate? Averaging over 10 wins for 40 years. That's really impressive.
I don't think there is a giant public vs private gap in the greater Chicagoland area. There is in Springfield.

Pretty much guaranteed a minimum of 7 wins in the regular season and 3 in the playoffs every year considering the talent gap.

Couldn't agree more. Great job by production team. Really enjoyed the broadcast

So you don't think what he has done is impressive? Those wins are guaranteed because of the program he has built.
Not discounting what he has done. He built and maintained an amazing program. Someone had asked about comparing it to a Chicago conference. It would be like putting Loyola in the a closed conference with the local public schools. They would roll everyone except Maine South and then be highly seeded in the playoffs so likely have 10+ wins a year.

All.... No but I can understand that conclusion. Ratsy
Fair enough. But with Beatty at 100% at the end, it would have been exciting. Congrats on a great win. Really enjoyed watching the game. I hope the Hilltoppers can win tommorow and meet the Cyclones in Dekalb next week.

All..... 100% is a funny thing. SHG hasn't been that since before the season regardless what you might have heard. A late injury in a game maybe or not. Having talked with Rocket fans Beatty the stud he is has taken dings for quite some time. Rolling that dice eventually has consequences at unexpected times. Ratsy
