It's sad to report that the Illinois High School Football community has lost a special coach. Bill Zimmer was head coadh at Lockport for 35 years. I had the good fortune of growing up four houses away from him. I spent a lot of time at his house when I was a kid. His son is Mike Zimmer. Mike is the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. Mike talked about his dad at today's press conference. http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/...a-Mentor/3472a923-7143-4b8c-a19b-8f784b2dddab

Bill had some damn good Porter teams.He gave Gordie & Dave some fits in the old Illini 8.Always the 3rd best team in a tough conference but did win the I8 one year.Had some fine teams in the Sica too that featured some awesome gunslingers.Great man,great coach.
