 IHSA Class 8A Semi-final match between the visiting East Saint Louis Senior Flyers (Illinois) and the Wheaton Warrenville South Tigers.
Let me set the scene for you. I arrived about an hour and a half before kickoff and the stadium was filled. I spoke with some Wheaton fans before the game that had a sort of swagger in their steps. They knew they were walking away with a victory. But I also spoke to some East St. Louis fans. They are a proud bunch. Jovial and full of energy, they made the 4-hour trek from deep within Illinois to the upper middle class suburb. Proud parents rattled off the jersey numbers of their kids and told me to look out for them. There was even some tailgating and grilling going on in the parking lot from some Wheaton fans. Ahh. High School Football in Late November. Is there anything better? |

1. Mount Carmel 12-0
Maine South played ‘em tough. It just seems like Mount Carmel doesn’t have the word “off season” in their vocabulary
2. Wheaton Warrenville South 12-0
Morgan Park realized that WW South doesn’t carry a #2 ranking for nothing. They take the bad end of a 32-0 blowout.
3. Naperville North 11-1
Tassio and the crew send Lincoln Way East packing. It was exciting at times but North holds on to win 21-7 |

On June 26, 1995, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Vernonia Sch. Dist. 47J v. Acton that middle-school and high-school athletes can be required to submit to suspicion less drug tests as a condition of athletic participation (New York Times 1995). Illinois now takes action.
