Now that the other exciting South Side playoff game is over, I can post the notes. Really cool to see all the players from the South Side Chicago Area that a lot of kids we’ve seen since they were youngsters having great seasons and leaving it all on the field. And the sacrifices made by the parents that allows us fans these types of weekends.
Hononegah brought a great group of fans and players that had the Mustangs looking for answers, taking a 10-7 halftime lead.
The Mustangs answered the call with just an incredible effort by the offense and defense.
QB Touchdown Tommy Ulatowski’s second half was big time. Playing over a handful of penalties that stunted St. Rita drives in the first half and second half by him just keep making play after play. With Hononegah D staying disciplined and keyed on the backs, Tommy U kept it and outran the D for a 70 yard score.
KB, remember him?, just uncoverable in space. Cross, fly, post? Yeah, it was there and once those were hit, the tide turned. Also big catches by Flynn, BJ Hall, EJ Nwagwu and K9, Kyle Clayton, forced the Indians to cover a lot of space allowing the Soph RBs Ethan Middleton and DJ Stewart to start pounding out 1st downs and burning clock. After overcoming some penalties and a tough Hononegah front, the OLine regained their push led by some standout blocks by Big Val and junior OT Colin Gerger.
Defensively, the Mustangs seemed pretty on point all game. Couple nice chunk plays on screens and a pretty tough Indian QB that took a lot of hits all game but kept leading his team for a handful of promising drives. DL Giuseppe Ursetta with some huge momentum-changing plays. DBs Johnny Schmitt and Liam Bartos with huge interceptions, Jake Poselli and Pat Farrell took care of the edges while the Kingsbury’s controlled the middle of the field in the second half.
High School football in November is so special. Never, ever take it for granted. Thank you Mustangs and Indians for a well-fought game.
