The official Bryon vs Tolono thread (LMAO) Bryon 56 Unity 50 FINAL

[Patrick Devitt]

One of the best title games in a while.

Two legendary performances from Considine and Eisenmenger.

The drama, pressure, and final few minutes of this back and forth affair were nothing but pure gold!

You really felt like Unity was going to win it after the onside recovery, but a tremendous goal to go stand from Byron seals the deal.

Those poor Rockets have now finished runner-up 7 times without a title.

Scott Hamilton was the Marv Levy of the IHSA. His successor is now in the same boat. Tolono has been really good for a long time.

SJO is same boat as far as runner ups.

I have friends in Byron but I had a little bit that was really pulling for Unity. They played their asses off.

Does this shut up the private public debate or do we still have children claiming superiority over another based on disrict

 

[Gestalt45]

That outcome pisses me off. To get to the 3 yard line with 4 downs and 3 timeouts, you have to be more creative! Byron was expecting the pass.

Yes, two false starts from the 3? Unacceptable. I hope the kid doesn’t do something drastic

 

[Colin2299]

I wish they would have tried to run it at the 3

One of the best finals I can recall in almost 20 years of following the IHSA. One for the record books!

I like Caden's interviews as much as I like to watch him play. I see them all fron Byron's local TV news station.

Follow Scott Leber on facebook and you see them all.

Definitely one of the best. Maybe the best ever. Certainly in the convo.

other great ones off top of my head:

2021 Cary-Grove over ESL 37-36 all time upset

2019 3A Williamville 46, Byron 42 Willyville scores twice in last 3 minutes to erase 10 point deficit

2014 3A Wilmington 20, Williamsville 17. Defensive struggle first half, then back and forth game 2nd half. Wilmo hits walk off FG to win. The Zlomie 92 yard kickoff return is probably the best play in Wilmo history.

2019 Monticello vs. Byron was really good as well. Nobody gave tht Sages a chance and they ended up winning.

You are correct. I believe it was 2018 though. But I also remember that one being decided on a late score by the Sages.

Another pretty great game was 2006 3A Plano 47, St Joe-Ogden 42. Back and forth game where the run team pulled it out over the passing team

Correct, it was 2018.

3A more often than not has the most exciting game of the 1st day. Especially when its public vs. public.
