 Notes & Quotes
Coach's Quotes and Notes

Winning Coach Ed Brucker, Woodstock:
"That was an incredible high school football game. It was very tense out there and discouraging when we got up (28-14) and let them back in. But we hung in until the bitter end. When you have two winning teams that are 13-0 neither team is g oin to quit and today we were able to prevail."

"We felt in watching the tapes that field position was very important and in Rock Island's previous games they always had good field position. So, we emphasized our kicking game and for the most part it was excellent."

"Our line, offensively and defensively, came around at mid-season and that is why we are standing up here today. We had two tremendous drives and the line opened some big holes. Craig (Kastning) made the plays and Roy (Fritz) was able to tak e it in on our last drive."

"Give a lot of credit to Rock Island. We knew coming in that we had to stop Alonzo (Wise) to win the game. He is a very good back."


Losing Coach Vic Boblett, Rock Island:
"I could not be prouder of this group of young men. There were mistakes made today on both sides and you don't like to see that in a championship game. Both teams took advantage of each others mistakes. There was no quit today."

"We were able to come back and time just ran out on us. It was a great high school football game. give Woodstock a lot of credit, they executed a great drive after we tied it at 28-28."

"Alonzo (Wise) had agreat return on the last kickoff. It was a tremendous effort and he almost broke it (all the way). He was going through two and three guys all day, I am really going to miss him greatly. If there is a better running back in Illinois I would sure like to see him."




Class 5A Records Broken or Tied:
Rock Island's Alonzo Wise breaks title game rushing record with 210 yards (on 29 carries). Old record was held by Philip Adler Wheaton Warrenville South with 186 yards (24 carries) in 1992.
SPECIAL NOTE: Woodstocks Craig Kastning rushed for 199 yards on 24 carries.
