Best illinois HS game of the year
frr i go there
The Cary-Grove game is to run you over. If you can't stop the run, they won't pass. It's brutal and demoralizing for a defense. Cary was much smaller, but makes NO mistakes. ESTL had tremendous athletes and size - but "TEAM PLAY" beat them. Congrats to 2 great teams for a terrifically exciting game.
Number 34 is an absolute demon in that regard, crazy skill
Cary grove has been awesome at defense but there are good
Respect East St Louis for going out & plyn Bosco & IMG. Keep pushing nationally Flyers. But that damn triple option is brutal. You stop em, stop em, stop em, stop em & bang they go for 50 & a house call. Run game is great equaizer
Great game I think ESTL was the more talented team individually but Cary Grove played with more cohesion.
Disagree
@@thinbluelinewarrior4190 idk I think he’s right. Not saying Cary isn’t talented but ESL is like a D2 college team. Loaded with D1 recruits. Crazy talented, but Cary grove had more heart and just flat out wanted it more. Played together as a team and limited mistakes. Overall better team but ESL has more talent.
@@lucasburton5053 they had so much heart . I once you put doubt in the mind, all you have to do is put it on more
@@jordanmartin9012 They ran the style of offense that is needed to beat ESL, not only the style but they run it exceptionally well with players that fit that scheme tremendously. No team in Illinois was going to out talent ESL. No team had the talent to beat them with a pro/spread style offense. Prairie Ridge hanging with them for a half in the 2019 title game was a good indicator that CG could hang with them as long as they took some gambles/didn’t turn the ball over. Turning points were that personal foul on that 2nd and long and the onside kick. ESL probably beats them 7-8 out of 10 times, but kudos to CG. They did everything you needed to do to beat this team. This game was one of the best HS football games ever in the state of Illinois.
Put it this way, ESL is back at states Cary grove isn’t.🤷🏾♂️
Proud to have been a part of the CG football program. Class of 08!
What a great football game. Luther you are elite sir !!!
If he ever feel useless in your life, just remember that Cary Grove has wide receivers lol.
I'm one of the players
@@kylejarecki4555 congrats on the win!
Do parkway north vs Marquette
Was waiting for this thank you
So proud of the Trojans! Class of '63.
Why is no one talking about the elephant in the room? ESL were out coached in every aspect of that game. They “wanted it” just as much as Carry Grove. The coaches for Cary Grove are excellent and need to have their kids ready and able to adjust on every play with the option offense they run. It’s actually a very complex offense to run and coach. The ESL coaches just stood there and made no adjustments on defense?? They kids were looking to them for help and they had no answers or adjustments for them. ESL stayed in that 3/4 defense with walked up olb on the hip on the tackles the entire game and there was no need for to high safety’s with their speed. Should have ran a 4/4 and blitzed the a gaps and make Cary Grove play to the pitch. Don’t even want to get started about the ESL play calling on offense. Don’t blame the kids for that lose blame the coaches. I live in the Northern part of the state and was pulling for Cary Grove but they had no business beating ESL if they were coached up at all…..
Yes exactly. Don’t like those “they were a team” comments.
ESTL got out coached. Both teams and players played their hearts out.
Good game both teams, shout out GSV for documenting the journey
Wow, Great game . Fullback gets 4yds a carry. Tough day at the office. ESTL will play anyone , anywhere. Great team to travel nationally!!!!!!!!
ESL ain’t watch film. And Cary Grove Threw one pass that whole game.
Yeah that’s embarrassing. Their d line was getting dogged every play lol
34 is a unit
34 on Cary Grove had like 40 rushing attempts. He is really good.
so proud of my guys go trojans baby
ESL was definitely the better team BUT, it all comes down to being discipline
That personal foul on 2nd and 15 in the 2nd qtr was probably the difference. Flipped the game. Led to a td and an onside kick recovery
East St Louis Schedule 2022/23 Game 1. St Francis MD Game 2. Christian Brothers College Prep Game 3. Creekside Georgia.......
Our QB was down...but it is what it is...Cary Grove ran that option and their coach called a once in a lifetime kinda game and his players executed to perfection. This game had me on the edge of my seat. We will be back for sure!
He didn’t call a once in the lifetime type of game. That’s how they alway play, they handed ESL a big piece of humble pie. How arrogant to go for 2pt conversion after every score. If they running back didn’t tear his ACL on that final drive, they was gonna score. Y’all place holder knee was down on that first 2pt conversion y’all got. Y’all might be back but Cary Grove will be back as well
@@torianmoore1234 Brother warrior, we love competition. We always go for 2, that is how we play. Cary Grove is who we want to play. Don't get it twisted, Cary Grove would win one out of ten and my comment was actually a compliment. You won and sound angry. That last call as an interception when the QB was down sealed the game, so you get to enjoy this win until we meet again.
@@terrancetaylor6572 I know you was trying to compliment, but there goes that arrogance again. That’s how Cary Grove plays and that’s pure conjecture on your part you would win 9 outta 10. They dominated your defensive line, spread them out and ran it down your throat. That’s demoralizing when you know what’s coming and can’t stop it. The passed twice. I know y’all kick extra points, which isn’t smart football and it cost you. At least the refs was consistent on not calling the QB down when y’all down on the fake 2pt conversion, the guy took a knee twice.
@@terrancetaylor6572 I’m not a Cary Grove fan.
@@torianmoore1234 Arrogance isnt 2 National Titles 9 State Titles 4 finals and most wins in Illinois...that is facts...they would lose the next 9...that old option won't work again. East Side dominated their d line...but it is a game and we take ours and learn from them.
OMG! Exactly!
Hell of a game
Damn great game! I had the Flyers winning this game.
Hell of a football game
On an eye test.. ESL was huge compared to them.. more talented, kinda shocked they lost.
Trojans had more heart
@@kylek9813 lol wouldn’t say that just more discipline no one has more heart than the adversity these kids face every day great game though n good win to the other team
History repeats itself…
Crazy , I honestly did not expect Cary grove to win the rematch . Props to them , I played them in highschool in the playoffs . Never lost to them . I think styles make fights and East St. Louis just had a hard time with Cary Grove’s style
Great game honestly . I wish this went on utr or something
CG dominated the line and ran wild, same game plan the #3 team in the country did. CG threw two passes all game.EStL still have to many unnecessary penalties
34 carried Cary grove. Also gotta give credit to the o line for setting great blocks
He tore his ACL there at the end
Good disciplined line play by the Cary Grove O line. Hearty upperclassmen who dominated the less cohesive ESL D line. Frankly Flyers acted like their high powered offense could rule the day. Cary was hungrier, more to prove, up for the challenge....a deadly combination in high school ball.The one stop at the goal line on the ESL 2nd TD, extra point try, was the game. No one looks at that, but there it was. Flyers have had a few other teams of great skill and power, tremendous actually, who blew it with the same overconfidence and poor discipline. Fatal flaw, somehow imbeded in their other wise great footbal culture outta east side, in the "city of champions". The day they ever get serious about being a super disciplined team, on top of the rock solid football culture, look out world!
Please !!! You don't know nothing about flyer Nation football taking nothing away from CG football team but Eastside just played a bad game but was still in it to the end which they still could have won but didn't take advantage of the turn over an with unnecessary penaltys an bad clock management of 3 minutes they should have won this game
@@owentolliver4554 yeah they played a bad game cuz they couldn’t stop the run 😂. Nick hissong. Owns the esl defense lol . Plus y’all got outcoached
that was a heartbreaker
hilliard davidson high school from just outside columbus ohio .......... several years ago . defeated glenville high school out of cleveland , ohio for the d-1 big school title.......... won it the same way , with the triple option ........ they threw 5 -6 pass"s the whole game........ gained 250 yards on the ground , including a 73 yard td run by davidsons QB, glenville had cardale jones at QB , he accounted for overv 400 yards himself for the ville , they gained over 500 total . the ville did a nice job defending the triple option overall .......except for the 73 yard home run .......glenville won their first state title ever this year .......... and sadly it came in division 4 .........thats how much the enrollment at g ville has dropped ......... 7 divisions in ohio ........ 1 being the largest. very difficult for the flyers to replicate that offense in practice to defend against .......... u really hardly ever see it .......
Dont tell me I'm the only one heard the guy at 12:40 saying "it didn't go 10ft" on the onside kick... it's ten YARDS! C'MON MAN!
And it went 11 lol
This was definitely from the movie "Facing The Giants"
#34 of Cary Grove is very elite I wonder if he went D1
U can tell #19 is going places for CG.
I’m not going to say a fair game wasn’t called but if you’re going to call on late hit you have to call it the other way as well. Then there were 2 holding calls that were ehhh. Other than that Cary Grove came to play grown man football & East St Louis probably hasn’t played a team committed to a physical running game all season.
I’m not sure why they didn’t commit to bringing the house, forcing a early pitch, and put your All American DB on a island with a guy who probably doesn’t even have offers. Poor game plan by East St Louis.
Idk man , East St. Louis has played some pretty good teams including IMG who they got demolished by 49-8 lol with a very physical run game , also not including St John bosco who they also lost to 42-26 which is another top 5 team in the nation lol
ESL when they overlook the entire state tournament:
REMATCH THIS YEAR!!
I hope East St Louis play Cary as one of their non conference opponents next year instead of playing the number 2 & number 3 teams in the country. To coach Sunkett there are teams in this state that The Flyers need to play especially those teams up north also to East St Louis Defensive Coordinator next time move your safeties in the box why was your safeties standing far back waiting on a pass when you see Cary running the ball every down Pile that line I remember that 86 team they was playing Alton Alton tried that option and coach Shannon picked up on it quick and he piled that line and the flyers stopped Alton in its track and ran the score up on them down at parsons field also if you notice Cary pattern on 3rd down the qb ran the option every time to the outside but The Flyers will be back but coach will have to work on his players discipline and self control. This Flyers team looking at their roster has only a few seniors but a ton of juniors freshman and sophomores they will be back in the championship game next season
Cary grove is in a locked conference . They aren’t allowed to play non conference teams
In the regular season
We don't play these kinds of teams, as they don't get your kids scholarships. CG kids play for their town and their stories. ESL plays for D1 scholarships and the pro game. Ijs.
Nick Hissong #35 on Cary Grove needs to go d1
34
@@kylejarecki4555 hi kyle
Cary Grove looks like Penn State 🏈
St Lois might want to add a non conference team that runs this style of offense next year…. Or get the same result again….a loss
Congratulations Cary-Grove. I'm so disappointed in the Flyers. They are not on the same level and yet they won the game. Everyone know ESL get more penalties than their opponent, even when it's obvious the other team committed a penalty. Luther has so much heart and proved his 5 star status. I remember the 1985 National Team. Now that team demand respect and they instilled fear. That team primarily strategy was to run the ball. ESL offense is efficient, but not dominating. The defense gave them their first TD was because of poor tackling. ESL offense and defense player are very big. Now the defense lacked the ability to stop or shutdown the run. ESL defense line was bigger than their offensive line. Now either they work as a team and blocking scheme was excellent or they had more strength, stamina and endurance. The secondary was exposed against the running game against IMG. They are too light to stop a power running backs. ESL defense need bigger secondary players.. That game was not ESL football. How in the heck with 11 plus minutes ESL couldn't SCORE. The defense did very well in the last 11 minutes. Last note, Don't let the officials have influence over a game, dominate and outscore and those false penalties won't stop the victory. DAMN FLYERS, that was your victory you gave away. ESL Alumni.
ESL was just another team that had no clue how to stop an inverted wishbone. They do this to everyone. And no I'm not from Cary
@@thouston7 I totally agree 👍
@@thouston7 Remember Prairie Ridge from 2019?
I hope they give carson boyd a shot at qb next year he's way better in my opinion.
East St. Louis had to play against their opponents n the reff's . Great job East St.Louis don't let the score board define yaw win.. We are proud of you. !!
keep making excuses to why they lost, yes there are some bad calls here and there but it came down to they simply couldnt stop CG and thats it.
They just not disciplined and they do a lotta dumb stuff which leads to dumb calls
Would have been an easy win for St. Louis if their D coordinator didn’t stay with 2 deep safeties for three hours against a team that runs 99.9 percent of the time… every game for 15 years ..???? Lol
Rematch needs to happen
@@ethanbrown1711 east saint Louis ain’t learned shit from this game
58 on ESide a tank
Does anyone have the offensive stats for this game. Absolutely insane. Both teams ran two different offenses and they both ran them very well
Yeah they are posted here:
www.ihsa.org/archive/fb/2021-22/6Box31.pdf
9:13 🥶🥶
22 was probably 4 inches shorter than that receiver too. It’s all about technique💪💪
Cary Grove runs our old 1975 offence... thank you...Run it Back!
This year prairie ridge probably making it to states and playing yall . Since Cary ain’t even make playoffs . But it’s the same offense
@@nb8982 We are watching...The QB is the offence.
@@nb8982 The rematch!
@@terrancetaylor4335 their Qb has 3000 yards rushing on the season .. I hope they make it to states so that game can go down . But east saint Louis will win because they have a new Dc. So they’ll be more prepared
@@nb8982should be a fun game
Cary -Grove.
Disciplined vs Undisciplined
Good game. No one plays that outdated football anymore. Honestly, that's strictly high school football. None of them play big time college. That offense is for the small country towns.
Every team who ran run heavy offenses in the Illinois state championship games this year won. Go figure. Joliet Catholic and Cary-Grove are both Chicago area schools who went undefeated with run heavy systems and beat spread offense teams. JCA's running back is going to Illinois... How many high school players go on to play big time college football?
ESL sends several every year.
ESL sends many kids to D1 but how many do they recruit to go there? I mean it’s ridiculous when you think about it. If any school up North recruited the best of the best from 4 or 5 high schools, they could brag too about the D1 scholarships.
@@ErikKoltz First, your catholics schools have been doing it since high school sports started. And you know if they condone pedophilia, they definitely don't care about cheating. Secondly, East saint louis recruiting is a myth that is and will always be used to minimize a marginalized group when they are successful. I grew up there, played there, and came back home to be principal there as well. So, I'm speaking from a place of knowing. Ask yourself this, who wants to go to school that was and is in the murder capital of the world. Check your Joliets, your loyolas, and your Nazareths. Those are your recruiters.
It was a good game. It probably made the defeat all the more bitter for ESL getting beat by a small country town offense.
What a segregated game👀👀👀👀
East St. louis needed to use Luther more tbh
Penalties and if they would’ve played more like a team instead of individual athletes the flyers would’ve won
Stop the cap I watched the game it was the coaching and play calling not the players
9:10 dude got popped
34 on Cary Grove was the best player on the field
He’s a senior.
ESL shot there self in there on foot with turn over recovery an 3 minutes left should have score an won this game bad clock management
@Hey he’s senior
He’s good but Luther is clearly on another level as anyone on the field lol
@@frankiemay3211 Luther was unreal but 34 and that OL willed there Team to victory. Clear MVP
ESTL lost because they didn’t STACK the D LINE nor did they pass the ball enough. You have a 5* wide out USE HIM
We and I say we, being from ESL, class 1984… Bob Shannon would have made some adjustments at half. He would have ended all those penalties and filled the gaps, made some major hits to slow that flawlessly run option. But we did nothing different after half. 20 more seconds is all we needed. That pic was a rushed play at the end. Mentally beat, we were. Hey, but plenty of fat women singing that day. It was a very entertaining game. But we were not prepared. I wonder if we even watched the film. It looked like we were confused at the beginning. The refs get a C. Fans get an A. Wow, where are class 6a medical team.34 should not have been walking around like that. Next year!! Is the art of kicking gone. Not soccer players to recruit???
#Facts
East St. Louis is back at states, but where is Cary?
Hey, bud, go to Illinois State this year??
Chiefs vs rams highschool edition
Way to go Trojans ! Never back down ! But lose those Penn St looking uniforms boys , you used to wear purple.
East side got ... OUT COACHED !!!
ESTL got out coached and out played. And number 16 for ESTL forgot to shake hands at the end of the game.
Is this Penn State vs Syracuse? 🤣🤣
This may go unnoticed but I am a upcoming artist thats working hard & worth the listen 👏🏽💫
That first flag on McVay was BS
You can tell these two teams are week.
They got waaaay too cocky.... and dependant
My cousin on this team think he is number 1
CANT WAIT FOR BMORE SFA 410
TO SMASH EAST IN 22
Worse coaching game plan in history of worse coaching game plans..
Their receivers can't beat you down the field it's pressure d in the gaps against that slow ass wing t...
Offensively just run misdirection out of spread ..they should've won by 21 points
Lol didn't go ten feet .
Maybe ESL should had done their homework about 6A conference before they moved there. And about CG
They know, we call it country ball.
You know they won the 6A state championship in 2019 right ?😂 what are you talking about you clearly know nothing , I’m not even an ESL fan but I know about their program as well as all the other teams .
Why even bother posting this?
Got damn, to some white boys too.🤦🏾♂️
Black boys just weren’t good enough🤷🏼♂️
@@datgallon7694 they got cheated that last turnover the quarterback was clearly down before he let the ball go
Y’all gonna play some white boys again this week
Those schools are segregated as hell. (ha). There's no schools like that here in Arizona. No team that is all one color.
Wym Cary grove is country asl and east St. Louis is in one of the most dangerous cities in America
@@brandonm3670 I'm just pointing out, that I can't think of one school here in the Phoenix area with these teams demographics. Maybe one of the small private schools in Scottsdale or something. Just something to think about. brain food.
Best game for sure! Just wish they edited the adult "N" using the "N" word. Guess it's just the East St Louis way. Wish all these kids an amazing future on both teams!
People saying this was an upset. CG was #1 Seed in the bracket. F outta here with that. Better team won.
Dude esl is was nationally ranked . Their only losses were to img and John bosco. National powerhouses . That’s why people are saying it was an upset
@@nb8982 Plus the fact that ESL was ranked #1 in state regardless of class size.
@@jstins yeah
Ask anybody from Cary-Grove and they would tell you they were the underdogs coming in knowing who ESL had and who they were. Seeds don't mean anything.
Just because you play nationally ranked teams doesn't mean squat. ESL lost to both those ranked teams bad and almost lost to a mediocre 6A state champ from Missouri. The 5A schools are the best in Missouri. No one should be surprised that CG beat ESL IMO. CG had a run game that ESL had no answer for. #34 was the best all-around athlete on the field that day. In who's scouting report was it ok to kick the ball to #3. That kid is a stud also. There is always that one Special Team coach that shouldn't be. You guys going on about disciplined vs undisciplined is a bunch of crap. You don't make it to the state championship by being an undisciplined team. CG had the better players/team and just flat out won the game and would do it again 7 out 10 times. Both teams played their hearts out and that made it a fun/great game to watch.
The triple option is actually an offense that is designed for small, slow, disciplined kids. They won, not because they were better, they won because they were unfamiliar. Also, ESL would never play an option team as it does not showcase talent. CG plays for their town and their own stories, ESL plays for D1 scholarships and the pros. No disrespect, there is not one player on CG's team will play D1 football and ESL will have several. Good game though. Ijs.
@@Principalsareamust they won cuz they were the better team . Ur just talking out ur ass . The esl defense couldn’t stop the fucking run up the middle at all lol . Just take your L and go
@@nb8982 get out of your feelings. Facts, neither one could stop the other, hence the score 36-37, secondly, that offense is typically played by small towns that don't have much size, speed, or talent, hence the misdirection of the offense. Lastly, we play football in ESL for a different purpose. Cary Grove plays for their town, we play for scholarships. The offense is very hard to defend, as you don't see it any more besides the Fox valley conference. At the end of the day, they did win, however we sending 7 kids to division one programs. Enjoy your trophy. We will be back next year. 18 of the starters will be back. Your guys were senior heavy.
@@Principalsareamust Cary will be back next year . If not Cary then prairie ridge will be in states next year . Giving y’all trouble with that triple option
@@Principalsareamust in all seriousness tho . Y’all should schedule Loyola and jca next season . Both would be great games
E side loses , Illinois Wins
Well said it was a top notch game
Horrible ref!
ESL had just petitioned to be a 6a school, guess it was a mistake
Terrible officials!!!
Black team got roasted by the refs
They actually committed less penalties this game then they do normally
Black team got roasted by being undisciplined actually!
I was just thinking does blue team have any black players on they team!?!that's weird asf to me!I'm from Florida I have never seen this before .
@@joshevans6743 Cary Illinois is a wealthy area the town is mostly white people tho.. when you face Cary everyone knows you’re in for a football game the big reason why teams Crumble is because they’re so conditioned it’s insane
