The game Saturday at Clyde C Jordan Stadium was an instant classic. Two teams battling down to literally the final seconds. After Glenbard scored on the quick pass to the wide-open receiver. It seemed all the air was taken out of the stadium. With 2:32 left, & no timeouts. The odds was against East Side. Especially on the 4th & 19yd play. Not too many people are talking about that play. For the fb #34 (Robinson) to catch the pass and keep moving to get the ball across the marker. Then after the pass interference call, it just gave you that sense that something spectacular was going to happen. 9.3 seconds remaining, no timeouts on the 23yd line. If Estes is sacked, game is over. With his elusiveness, he got away from the defender and threw the ball of of his back leg to the end-zone. Then you see a leaping Jeff Thomas grabbing the ball out of the air and falling to the ground. Straight pandemonium. I'm glad I recorded it. I knew something was going to happen. Reminds me of the intensity of the Quarterfinal game against St. Rita in '08. We all know what happened that year.
East Side vs Glenbard North

I said early on that I thought that Glenbard North would be the Flyers biggest matchup potentially until semi or state final and I still feel that way.
EdgyTim I hope so. I'll be in attendance at the game this weekend. I think they needed a game like that to prepare them for this week, and hopefully for the weeks to come. One thing that's been key this year, no injuries. Play good ball and we'll be at home next week for the semifinals
Not true lost 2 starting offensive linemen second week of the season both out for the year. good thing is they both return next year.
