Notes & Quotes

Winning Coach Dan Sharp from Joliet (Catholic)
My hats off to Morris. Coach Darlington came up with the old lonsome polecap. Coach Darlington knows how to utilize his talent to the maximum. He had a great game plan. It was a game of many big plays and our guys made the last big play.

We mixed up pressure against the spread formation. Our guys did a great job especially when Morris got into the short field. A lot of great plays were made by their quarterback Kennedy.

[In regards to 10 state titles for Joliet (Catholic)]
For me its an honor to coach these particular guys. They are men of character-the kind of guys you’d want your daughter to date.

JR Zwierzynski is the best running back in the country, the best I have ever seen.


Losing Coach Dan Darlington from Morris
I thought it was a super game. Our guys left it all on the field, they never gave up. My hats off to Joliet (Catholic), they played a teriffic game. This was the first time we used that particular formation, we work on it every week. We just didn’t use it until this week. We call it Hawaii, the kids named it that because the quarterback is isolate like he is out there all alone on an island. When we call the play we just say, “Hawaii left or Hawaii right.”

We put this formation in just in case we needed it, but we put it in for anybody we play. Not just for this game.

I couldn’t be more proud of our seniors and captains, because they determined to come back from last year and have a great year this year. They said they were going to take us to state.
