Eating pizza and playing card games with the team was fun, but we all came to the sisson house that night for one thing; finding out who our class 5a football opponent was. It seemed like years had gone by watching other teams find out who they played and the hosts interviewing some coaches, but finally 4a was up just maybe this would be the year we went 4a and had an easier was to the state title but as teams showed up sterling was mia. 5a then came on the first 16 teams came on with no sterling but finally we show up as are with chicago julian as home. Their record was 6-3 and we soon found out that since their new quarter back became eligable they have been undefeated and he is one of the best qbs in illinois. Practice flew by and as our first round game became closer i began to relieze that this could be my last game at sterling high school. But then all i had to do was win so we could move on. Our team wanted to win more than anything i could see it in their eyes before we took the field. After 48 tension filled minutes later we came out winners, we couldnt be happier. Soon after we found out we play the two time state champs montini, i guess their streak ends saturday!
