They definitely can run. Hoping for a good game as it usually is
Sterling at Sycamore - 5A Quarterfinal
- Thread starter Golden Warrior
- Start date
Sterling's QBs have combined to run for 1778 yards and 34 TDs on 250 carries.
Let’s just say yes. Alternating 2 quarterbacks that can run and throw. this isint the old Wing T Sterling offense from the 90s
I think it will be a game if Sterling doesn't turn the ball over. Can't give Sycamore a short field like Carmel did all game.
Sterling 87,000,000
Sycamore 2
*as an SF guy I feel like an adopted Golden Warrior for the 5A playoffs.
I don’t like to post predictions for Sterling games, and I’ll continue that trend. Bottom line, Sterling is going to need to play their best game and have some breaks/calls go their way.
This game is 6 years to the day of the last time Sterling played at Sycamore in the quarters. It feels like besides the location being the same, the script is flipped. Sterling was favored that year, and it’s my belief that was the best shot at a state title Sterling has had based on talent and the Vernon Hills/Peoria matchups that would have followed. Sterling had a let down, and Sycamore pulled out the win. Based on conversations with a work buddy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy (joking on the degrees of separation, but gotta love those conversations) who knows dad’s of kids on Sycamore, this is supposed to be that team that gets them through to the trophies.
Sterling has a couple dudes this year that would have started on any of the more recent quarter/semi teams, but the overall depth isn’t the same. Bottom line, the coaches will have a great plan and the players will be ready to go. But those dudes will have to be major dudes this week along with help from the supporting cast. Will it be enough is the question. If it is, maybe some of that sting from ‘16 will finally go away.

I remember that game well, I was there, I remember the Sterling kicker never missed field goals, and he missed one in that game and an extra point, it was like they were jinxed. Sycamore caught every break and that’s what Sterling needs in this game. I forget though, did it go into OT? And what was final? Also do you know what is the overall Sterling record against Sycamore? I remember 4 games at 2-2?
I believe it was 2OTs and 29-22 was the final
One overtime. It just FELT like 2 overtimes. :-(
