They went out last week and beat East St. Louis without two of their best players, that's should tell you what kind of team they are.

They have three running backs that could start anywhere in our conference. I mean, they have a fullback that they run a corner route with. You don't normally see that until you get to the college level.
east good louis played teams

Before Rochelle could blink they were down by two touchdowns. Rochelle beat them on a deperation pass at the end of the game. So they were lucky to escape with a win. We're going to have our hands full, that's for sure.

Our team has shown improvement each week, and they did it again last week. We certainly moved in the direction of a more complete game.
against ball beat complete defense eight good grinding last nine priority ready top week
Our top priority this week is to play good defense because Alton can beat you in a lot of different ways. They can play ball control, grinding it out for eight or nine minutes, or they can complete a 70-yard pass, like they did against us last season. Our defense is going to have to be ready for anything.
