High school football at its finestThe doorbell rang

just before kickoff between NUIC

Upstate rivals Milled-geville and Polo at a house on the corner of Dixon and Campbell.

It was the pizza man, and the O’Briens were having a party.

“My sister bought this house a little more than a year ago, and this is the place to be on Friday nights,” Amanda O’Brien said.

O’Brien is a Polo resi-dent, who helps host a party complete with a cooler full of drinks, a bonfire, pizza and best of all – a perfect view of the football field.

“When the team is play-ing well, you can feel it,” O’Brien said. “It’s so much fun. The atmo-sphere of the fans in the stadium makes its way to this backyard, and we just have so much fun.”

The Marcos’ recent suc-cess, namely a 4-0 start to the season for the first time since 1997 after a 52-27 win over rival Milled-geville, has helped jump start an already loyal fan base into the place to be

on Friday nights. Cars lined the streets

outside Polo’s football stadium. Fans milled around the stadium. Adults and kids alike played catch with a foot-ball before the game.

There was no place to park, as the parking lots were filled more than an

hour before game time. An RV was set up with all the fixins for a tailgate complete with bag games and grills.

There were no empty seats in the stands, and the fans made the stands shake after a Polo touch-down.

Pat Burden, a retired

farmer from Erie, makes his way to Polo’s home games each Friday, because the Marcos deliv-er the excitement he has been searching for.

“This is a great atmo-sphere,” Burden said though a full white beard that hid is rosey cheeks from the crisp breeze. “I

come up to Polo for the games. It’s fun for me.”

Annette Ditzler was huddled with her family members in the corner of the bleachers, and mar-veled at the way the town supports the program. For Don Ditzler, who was lucky enough to find a prime seat for the game, each Friday home game takes him back to the past.

“It reminds me of the old days,” Don Ditzler said. “It’s just what you do in Polo now. It’s pretty exciting.”

The Marcos thrashed the Missles in the second half, scoring 26 unanswered points, 23 of which came in the second half, and captivated the full house throughout the game.

Explosive plays from

receiver Brad Cavanaugh on touchdown catches from Brody Grobe of 78 and 27 yards sent the crowd into a frenzy that rattled the ear drums of many.

“This is one of the larg-est crowds we’ve had here,” Marcos coach Andrew Hofer said after the win. “It’s fantastic for these people to come out here and support the kids. You can tell it gets them going.”

Another man, Kevin Deets, a Polo graduate, still comes back for the football and for the pep band, and didn’t even bother trying to find a seat among the football-crazed fans that filled the bleachers.

“I’m a pep band alumni,” Deets said while standing near sev-eral trumpets saving the spots for band members. “When they’re good, it’s always so much more fun.

“This is one of the best atmospheres you will find. It’s pretty typical for people to come out here, but when they’re good, good luck finding a seat.”

Michael Krabbenhoeft/[email protected]’s Brody Grobe tries to hurdle Milledgeville’s Jordan Harris during Friday’s game in Polo. The two rivals played in front of a big crowd, and did not disappoint in a hard-fought game won 52-27 by the Marcos.

POLO 52, MILLEDGEVILLE 27

BY PATRICK [email protected], ext. 5550

POLO – The bus ride from Milledgeville to Polo was serious.

“We wanted to come out and punch them in the mouth right from the start,” Missiles quar-terback Jordan Harris said. “We knew they got into the rankings this week, and we wanted to get after them.”

The Missiles got after Class 1A No. 7-ranked Polo by recover-ing their onside kick to open the game, and turned it into a quick score. But when Polo was able to get the ball to its athletes, the Missiles had no answer.

Polo scored 23 unanswered points in the second half to cruise to a 52-27 win in an NUIC Upstate rivalry game Fri-day night before a crowd that left no empty seats.

Marcos quarterback Brody Grobe led a balanced offensive attack that relentlessly pressu-erd the Missiles (1-3) defense in the final two quarters.

Grobe rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns, while passing for 144 yards and two more scores through the air. Grobe hooked up with receiver Brad Cavanaugh for touchdown

strikes of 78 and 27 yards, while completing 8 of 11 passes.

“We were trying to look for our athletes and get the the ball in the open field,” Grobe said. “[Milledgeville] really came after us, and we just had to settle down at halftime, and do what we needed to do.”

Marcos junior running back Dylan Beers carried the bulk of the rushing load in the first half, picking up all of his 58 yards in the first two quarters and scored touchdowns on runs of 13 and 3 yards.

The Missiles were able to keep pace with the high-octane Mar-

cos offense in the first half. The Marcos secondary had fits with receiver Blake Kappes.

Harris and Kappes have been friends for 14 years and grew up playing catch in the yard.

The chemistry has boiled over into Friday nights, as the two took their game of catch to the

field and hooked up six times for 118 yards and a 34-yard touchdown on the game’s first drive. Kappes hauled in 110 of those yards in the first half.

“We play catch every day and work on things to get better every chance we get,” Harris said. “I look for him when I get in trou-ble. He’s my go-to guy out there.”

Milledgeville was successful in keeping Polo off balance in the first half, mixing in deep pass-ing plays with effective rushes outside the tackles, all out of the pistol set.

Being able to successfully pass and run out of the pistol helped Milledgeville come back from an early 18-6 deficit, to storm into the lead (19-18) with 4:10 left in the half. After trading touch-downs late in the first half, Polo’s Cavanaugh kicked a 23-yard field goal as time expired to put the Marcos up 29-27, and they never looked back.

Halftime adjustments by Polo halted the Missiles’ progress in the second half, and the offense thrived on good field position.

“We just weren’t able to pick up their blitzes,” Missiles coach Jason Wroble said. “They creat-ed trouble for us that we didn’t have an answer for.”

NEWMAN 59, MORRISON 0

BY TY [email protected], ext. 5554

MORRISON – With injuries depleting the Morrison Mus-tangs’ already thin ranks, Fri-day night’s Three Rivers North matchup against Newman was looking grim from the outset.

The Comets didn’t give the Mustangs any hope of a reprieve, scoring on their first eight drives in a 59-0 victory at E.M. “Bud” Cole Field.

“I don’t know if we had enough to stop Newman any-way, as good as they are,” Mor-rison coach Cory Bielema said. “But there were a lot of things – focus things, between-the-ears things that didn’t have anything to do with talent – that we can fix and get better at and improve on. Newman did what they did, and we have to clean some things up.”

The Mustangs (0-4, 0-2) muffed five snaps, missed some passes on open routes, and struggled to keep the Comets (4-0, 2-0) out of the offensive backfield. And while Morrison didn’t lose any of its five fum-bled snaps, it was able to sus-tain just two drives of any sig-nificance.

The Mustangs had a nine-play drive end in a punt after a bad snap, and then had a 10-play drive end on a fourth-down fumbled snap. With the running clock in place for all but the first 52 seconds of the second half, Morrison ran just six plays in the second half, gaining eight total yards without a first down.

Newman didn’t sustain many long drives either, but its short possessions ended in touch-

downs. The Comets had two one-play scoring drives, three that lasted two plays, another that took three plays, and yet another that took five. The longest scoring drive was the first one of three in the second quarter, and it went for eight plays; that was matched by the final drive of the game, when Newman’s backup quarterback Trevor Bolin took a knee on the last three plays.

“It starts with the line, and they played a phenomenal game again tonight,” Newman quarterback Logan Whitman said. “Our backs also blocked well for each other, and the guys all ran hard, as usual. They did all we could ask for tonight.”

The Comets had scoring plays of 32, 20, 5, 34, 42 and 31 on the ground, and Whitman con-nected on scoring strikes of 38 yards to Dillan Heffelfinger and

58 yards to Shayne Allen. The Heffelfinger TD grab finished off the eight-play scoring drive; the Allen reception was one of the one-play possessions.

Newman amassed 419 total yards on just 32 offensive plays, and started six of its nine drives in Morrison territory. The Com-ets ran for 323 yards on 28 car-ries, while Whitman was 2-for-3 passing for 96 yards, with both completions going for touch-downs.

“Those were some of the biggest holes I’ve ever seen,” Heffelfin-ger said, “and my touchdown run, it was like the Red Sea. Our backfield has so much chemistry, and we all want the best for each other and this team … and I have to give all the credit to the guys up front; w’re so proud of the job they’re doing.”

Brady Rude ran for 94 yards and two TDs, Nolan McGinn added 72 yards and two scores, and Heffelfinger had 60 yards and a TD on the ground. Eli Monier added a late scoring scamper from 31 yards out in his only carry of the game.

The Mustangs ran for 6 yards thanks to the lost yardage on the fumbled snaps, and finished with 65 total yards in the contest.

BY BRIAN [email protected], ext. 5551

STERLING – Jason Wolber was worn out from hand-to-hand combat with some massive Morris offensive line beef.

The Sterling senior defensive tackle wasn’t too tired, however, to make the play of the game.

Wolber’s tackle on a two-point conver-sion pass allowed the Golden Warriors to hold on for a 28-27 overtime victory against the Redskins on Friday night in a Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover game on Sterling Chevrolet Field at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

Sterling (3-1) overcame a two-touch-down deficit late in the third quarter to pull out the victory.

“We just battled,” Sterling coach Jon Schlemmer said. “It was a lot of fun to see those guys go out there and do what they did. To be down 21-7, we could have easily folded. This group decided they didn’t want to do that. They wanted to make sure this thing ended the right way.”

Sterling received the ball first in over-time. Two plays pushed the Warriors back to the 12, but on third down, junior quarterback Sterling Thornton hooked up with Grant Jacoby on a scoring strike. Antonio Diaz booted the extra point to put Sterling ahead 28-21.

Morris needed just two plays to score on its overtime possession. Quarterback

Griffin Sobol tossed a 7-yard TD pass to halfback Keagan Sobol on a perfectly executed center screen pass to draw the Redskins within 28-27.

After a timeout, Morris head coach Alan Thorson decided to go for two points and the win. His call – the same center screen pass to Keagan Sobol.

This time, however, Wolber sniffed it out and brought down Sobol at the 1, setting off a wild celebration by the Golden Warriors as their student section poured onto the field.

“They had success and popped a cou-ple of big gains off of that play,” Wolber said. “I guess I just read it right that time, and was in the right place at the right time to make the big play.”

Thorson wished he had tried some-thing different on the game-deciding play.

“We felt like we had some momen-tum,” Thorson said, “but I have to make a better play call. I don’t regret going for two, but I think I probably should have made a different call. Their kid obviously

made a great play, so you’ve got to give credit to them.”

Morris, after spotting the Warriors an early 7-0 lead on a 77-yard run by Thornton, scored 21 consecutive points, all on TD runs by Griffin Sobol, to seize control. His last score, a 1-yard plunge with 1:12 left in the third quarter, gave the Redskins a 21-7 lead.

Sterling responded with a 10-play, 70-yard march capped off by 17-yard run by Thornton with 8:43 to play to draw within 21-13.

A fumble by Morris on the first play of its next possession was pounced on by Sterling defender Joe Brouilette, giving the Warriors the ball right back. They didn’t waste the opportunity.

On fourth-and-goal from the Morris 9, Thornton hooked up with Turner Morse in the far left corner of the end zone for a touchdown. They then connected on a two-point conversion pass to knot the score at 21-21.

Morris nearly stole the game in the waning moments of regulation. A fake punt pass from Keagan Sobol to Josh Hulbert with 1:50 to play gained 24 yards and put the Redskins in business at the Sterling 21.

Three plays later, with 6.4 seconds to play, Morris lined up for a potential game-winning 30-yard field goal. The kick by the Redskins’ Luis Luna was blocked, however, by Sterling’s Brett Gould, sending the game to overtime.

DIXON 40, OREGON 15

BY ANDY COLBERTShaw Media

DIXON – Normally, one against seven isn’t a fair com-petition. But, when your one is quarterback JD Gieson, a differ-ent set of rules apply.

In the first half of Friday’s 40-15 win by Dixon over Ore-gon, seven different Hawk backs combined for 120 yards rushing on 27 carries. Gieson outgained them all with 131 yards on 11 rushes, including three touchdowns.

Gieson added a 34-yard touch-down run early in the third quarter, and the Dukes went on to a 40-15 win in the first meet-ing between the two schools in 72 years.

“It doesn’t matter what play is called,” Dixon coach Dave Smith said. “He’ll make it work. It was all about him taking his team and leading them to a win.”

For good measure, Gieson tacked on a 21-yard touchdown pass to Kyle LeBlanc midway through the third quarter for a 34-8 Duke lead.

“On our side of the ball, any-one on our offense can make plays,” Gieson said. “That makes it difficult for the other team’s defensive coordinator.

The toughest question for me is who to get the ball to. They were all open.”

While Gieson and company were running wild in the sec-ond half, Oregon was handi-capped by not having a quarter-back. Starter Jerrick Orsted took a hit to the head at the end of the first half and was ruled out of action in the second half by

trainer John Cain.Backup Caid Chenoweth suf-

fered a concussion in the soph-omore game, and was taken to the hospital. Maverik Good, a running back, was called on to finish the game as an emergen-cy fill-in.

“It’s scary how thin we are in some spots,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “It really came

to a head tonight.”Dixon took the opening kick-

off and drove 63 yards in nine plays for a 6-0 lead, on a Gieson 6-yard run.

After being forced to punt, the Hawks soon caught a break when Jacob Harrison snapped the ball over Gieson’s head into the end zone for a safety.

“There’s a lot of pressure being a shotgun center. Har-rison shook it off and ended up playing a heck of a game,” Smith said.

The next time Dixon touched the ball, it was Gieson sprint-ing untouched around left end for a 66-yard touchdown and a 12-2 lead. However, another Duke mistake kept Oregon in the game.

Brayton Finch was roughed up while punting, giving the Hawks a first down at midfield. On the next play, Orsted completed his only pass out of seven attempts, a 29-yarder to Chris Jordan.

An open-field tackle by Matt Coffey saved a touchdown, but Hawk fullback Garrett Rude scored four plays later on a 4-yard run, cutting the deficit to 12-8.

“We let them back in on that penalty,” Smith said. “We’ve got

to stop those mistakes and pen-alties. A Bothe-coached team is so fundamentally sound, they’ll make you pay. We needed a game like this where we got punched back in the mouth.”

Though Oregon controlled the clock in the first half, the Dukes used their big-play capability to advance the lead to 20-8. Cody Mighell and Gieson had con-secutive 21-yard gains, setting up an 11-yard touchdown by Gieson to close out the half.

“If we could have ran the clock out and kept the game at 12-8, it would have given us an edge going into the second half,” Bothe said.

The most exciting play of the game was an 85-yard punt return by Coffey in the second half. Coffey made an over-the-head catch of a booming Finch punt, and left would-be Hawk tacklers in his wake on his run to paydirt.

“I saw guys flowing to the right, so I went up the middle and almost ran into Jake John-son,” Coffey said. “The last defender left was blocked, and I ran off his butt. We have a ton of athletes on this team. There’s no reason we can’t win the rest of our games in conference.”

ROCK FALLS – Make no mis-take about it: Rock Falls head coach Scott Berge wants to win. His players, like senior wide receiver Connor Cain, want to win as well.

But during a season by which wins have been hard to come, other aspects of the sport, like teamwork and love of the game, are taking more and more of the squad’s attention.

That was apparent Friday night, when the Rockets suf-fered their fourth straight blow-out loss to start the season, a 55-20 defeat at the hands of vis-iting Byron.

“Tonight was fun,” Berge said. “We didn’t get the result we wanted. We made some mis-takes, but our guys had fun, and as the season rolls on, we’re at four losses. One more loss puts you out of the playoffs, and if you’re not having fun, it could be a long final few weeks.”

Friday, that fun included what has become a trademark of the team – a reluctance to punt no matter the circumstance – as well as a unique formation called “asinine” that resulted in a Rock Falls touchdown.

The formation was unveiled early in the fourth quarter with the game already well out of hand – Byron led 49-6 – and fea-tured both tackles and guards split far away from the cen-ter, leaving quarterback Noah Junis completely exposed to the Byron pass rush. Cain was able to find a crack in the confused defense, caught a quick slant pass, broke a tackle and scam-pered in for a 25-yard score.

“We call that asinine because

it’s an asinine formation,” Berge said. “I drew that one up on a napkin. The kids said, we haven’t run that yet, let’s run it. We told Noah, ‘you’ve got to sit in the pocket. You’re going to take a hit, but you’ve got to stay in the pocket.’ He stayed in the pocket, threw a good pass over the middle, and Connor was able to make a good play.”

Cain finished with a team-high eight catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns. He said

the team wasn’t bothered by any of the drama surrounding the team over the course of the week, and he hopes his team can send Berge out on a stron-ger note.

“It didn’t really affect us,” he said. “We knew all along, so it’s not really a big deal to us like it is to everybody else. We want to go out big for Berge. He’s put a lot of time into the program.”

Junis, in his second start since taking over for three-year starter Jacob Mammosser, completed 20 of his 26 passes for 227 yards. He completed all nine of his first-quarter passes, going 4-for-4 for 34 yards on Rock Falls’ eight-play, 74-yard touchdown drive in the first quarter that pulled the Rockets to within 7-6.

However, Byron’s wing-T offense ran roughshod all day, hogging the ball for more than 9 minutes in the second quarter and scoring touchdowns on five of its six first-half possessions. Seven different Tigers rushed for at least 30 yards, and Byron finished with 368 yards on the ground.

Meanwhile, when the Rockets’ offense was able to get on the field, it failed to repeat the flu-idity of its early drive until the

game was already decided.Mammosser had six catches

at his new position of receiver, with Tanner Dean adding six catches as well. Running back Braeden Westfall had 56 rush-ing yards, highlighted by a first quarter that featured 51 yards and a 1-yard TD plunge.

As for the Rockets’ punting, they did punt once, and it was quite successful, nestling in at the Byron 1-yard line. How-ever, the Tigers then held the ball for the next 5 minutes, and although they didn’t score, the drive was a big reason why Byron dominated the time of possession in the first half.

Earlier this week, Berge announced that he would be leaving the program at the end of the year. Berge had told his team the news at the begin-ning of the season, but didn’t announce it publicly until being motivated to do so by last Satur-day’s Sauk Valley Media story of his team’s 40-0 loss to Oregon.

“I made that announcement this week because (SVM) ran that article on Saturday,” Berge said. “That announcement allowed us to push that article to the side and get our guys to focus on football.”

MAIN CLINIC

BY DAN DWYERShaw Media

MANLIUS – The Bureau Val-ley Storm came into Friday’s Three Rivers Conference cross-over matchup against Kewanee knowing they were better than their 0-3 record reflected.

Then, they completely domi-nated the Boilers on both sides of the ball from the opening whistle en route to a 43-6 vic-tory in Manlius.

The BV offense was balanced all night, as senior Tommy Johnston caught two touch-down passes from freshman quarterback Drake Davis, and running backs Will Konneck and Josh Mead added two TDs each on the ground.

Konneck got loose on a 19-yard run to score the first BV points after a successful fake punt handoff to senior Parker Neuhalfen gave the Storm a second chance on their opening drive.

“All of those guys are more than capable,” BV coach Spen-cer Davis said. “Obviously Park-er is a staple, but when you have all four of those guys going ... and with having Will healthy – he hasn’t been for the first cou-ple of games, and we finally got

him healthy – it’s huge for us; he’s electric, and that takes the pressure off the other guys.”

Four minutes later, Davis hooked up with Johnston streaking across the heart of the Boiler defense for a 42-yard touchdown pass, extending the

Storm lead to 16-0.BV stretched its lead on two

Mead touchdowns that came in the span of 1:13.

The first was a 3-yard plunge set up by a beautiful connection between Neuhalfen and Davis on a fourth-and-14 from their

own 35-yard line.“It felt great to finally get in

the end zone because I haven’t done that much this year,” Mead said. “But I got to give it to my line; if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have got the holes that I did. Without them, God knows what would have happened tonight.”

A fumble recovery by senior lineman Dylan Martin eventu-ally set up Mead’s second score, a 22-yard rumble where he refused to go down, to make the score 30-0 with 7:37 to play in the first half.

Davis dropped a beautiful 14-yard touchdown pass over Johnston’s shoulder in the back of the end zone for BV’s second connection of the night with 48.8 seconds left to play in the half.

Konneck reached paydirt on a 4-yard run for the final BV touchdown with 7:30 left to play in the third quarter.

Kewanee showed little signs of life offensively, as the Storm defense was relentless all eve-ning. Kewanee got on the board with a 47-yard run up the mid-dle by junior Zach Brown at the 4:09 mark of the third quarter to end the game’s scoring.

Storm dominateBy SVM Sports Staff

Dylan Binion added to his season touchdown total to go into double-digits, run-ning for five scores and 120 yards on those runs alone in leading the Erie-Proph-etstown Panthers to a 42-20 win over Fulton on the road.

Binion, who is the area’s leading touchdown scorer, had an 8-yard run in the first quarter, then ran in for the Panthers’ next four scores. Leading 14-12 after one quarter, Binion had runs of 16, 62, and 26 yards to break the game open. His third-quarter run went for 18 yards.

Jordan Chandler opened up with a 54-yard run for the Panthers (3-1, 2-0 Three Riv-ers North), who complied 525 rushing yards and did not punt at all in the game.

Fulton was led by Trey Simmons’ two touch-downs, coming in the first and fourth quarters. Jason Osborne also had a score in the first quarter for Fulton (2-2, 1-1), which rushed for 128 yards.
