The game was not a war, it was a gentleasskicking. Good luck to the Tigers, and the pups can stay home next week, while the good teams and programs enjoy a playoff game.

' I take it they had 3 fights during the game and two Streator players got ejected in the third quarter Helen.

2 of our boys got kicked out for an altercation on the Herscher sidelines. No Hersher players ejected.

These two ejections show that sports is not required in schools. These spawn bring the street mentality to the field and show no regard for sportsmanship. They know the program is a disrespected endeavor and fighting and poor citizenship is all they can execute. Streator should bow out of the conference, as soon as rules permit.

Those 2 spawn are both high honor students. Both will be going to college next year with bright futures. I talked with one of them today and he told me the other team had been punching them all game and it just exploded. He feels bad he has embarrassed his family, team, and school. But he also was defending his teammate.

Good old Teddy Roosevelt, his words are equally valid today.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
