It can’t keep a stream for 1-8 Althoff - how many folks are really trying to watch that crap?

But they are tied 0-0 with 8-0 Cardinal Ritter at the end of 1Q. Defense playing out of their minds - the Althoff offense has run maybe 13 plays and punted three times.

I didn’t think it was physically possible, but NFHS both sucks and blows at the same time.

Ritter scores first play of 2Q - missed kick. Then Althoff with 65 yards to the five. ALTHOFF SCORES!!!!

Ritter beat Cahokia earlier this year but not a tough schedule - proud the boys are hanging.

6-0 1045 2q.

I have heard ESTL secondary is questionable. I have never seen them play though. Not there just following on Twitter FYI.

Ritter takes the kickoff from the 1 to the other 8 years line.

There is some speed on both sides. Ritter has some huge dudes. They are seniors against sophomores and Juniors.

Ritter scores. 18-9.

“We seem to do things that consistently put us in a bind.”

That’s Glenn Schott after a groan and deep sigh after an Althoff sideline personal foul.

“Oh - you see our little running back - he got bounced back off the line. He’s about 5 foot five. Best thing to do now is just run the clock out and get to half time.”

Then we pass.

Then Ritter calls a timeout.

Big pass to the 35 - so Althoff calls a timeout. May as well. 40 seconds left.

Almost pick 6.

Another Ritter timeout - 4th and 10 at the 35 ... Althoff punts and recovers ball - 18 seconds left.

Ball at the Ritter 38.

Half.

33-9

Edwardsville 52-0.
