This was probably one of the high school football game I have seen in a long. The crowd of 4,000+ was awesome and it was two heavyweights going toe to toe. East St. Louis led 12-7 at half. Edwardsville dominated the third qaurter to take 20-12 lead. East St. Louis could of just packed it in, but they showed me a heart of champion in the fourth qaurter. In the fourth qaurter, Edwardsville had no answer for McDaniel (WR) (If this guy ain't all-state, there is something wrong) and Nicholas King (RB) as East St. Louis won the game by the score of 33-27. McDaniel scored two TDs. He caught one in triple coverage and one was him burning the defense as he outdistance himself from the Edwardsville player by at least 10 yards. East St. Louis drives were lightning quick and carved up the Edwardsville defense with their big play ability. The Flyers are for real and Chicago should take notice of this team.
the numbers just didn't add up in the st. louis post-dispatch box score. so the revised score seems to be 34-27. when east st. louis scored its third to last td. they made a 2-pt. conversion on a pass from johnson to mccaskill to tie the game at 20. then on their next 2 tds. they made the extra pt. anyone familiar with the flyers knows they make every extra point try an adventure.
after re-reading the post-dispatch article, it looks like the 33-27 score was correct. they made the 2pt. conversion but missed the final PAT. ok, i'm done now!
