The boys are back at it. The SHG football team is on a roll once again. The varsity football team remains undefeated and continue to put up running clocks.
The first game played was against Springfield High School on the home turf. By half-time there was a running clock up on the board. SHG took home a win with a finishing score of 51 to 7. “I’m excited about this group. I was concerned because Springfield has some great athletes and we contained them really, really well.” Coach Ken Leonard said.
The next game was also played on the home turf against Decatur Eisenhower. This was a long game lasting around three hours. Quarterback Tim Brenneisen, completed 13 out of 19 throws totaling in 302 yards.
For week three the boys dominated Jacksonville on Jacksonville’s own field. Senior Sam Bonansinga held the spotlight as he made six catches totaling 106 yards. The boys make football look easy by ending the game with a total of 62 points to14.
In week four the boys brought the storm…literally. The game was shortened due to weather but would that stop them from dominating? As if. The Cyclones came home with a 48-0 win just before the game ended early around 8 p.m. Senior Albert Okwuegbunam and junior Vince Mounce both caught touchdown passes during the short game. “He’d been hurt. He had a great summer,” Coach Leonard said referring to Mounce. “Jack Sigourney was hurt, and Mounce is a load. He’s going to be a really good player.”
The week of September 25th was homecoming week and the boys also brought home another win. Lincoln High School was no match for SHG. Keeping the undefeated title, the Cycs won an impressive 70 to 0.
In week six the Cyclones were taken to their south side opponents, the Glenwood Titans. The titans put up a bit more of a fight than Lincoln, but were still no match. Chatham is the only team this season, so far that SHG hasn’t beaten with a running clock. However, just like every other opponent, SHG manages to take home the win.
The cyclones hope the boys are able to keep up the undefeated record and bring home another State championship. Good luck Cycs!
