2002 ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION’S BOYS STATE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS 
Saturday afternoon, November 30, 2002                                                                        4:04 P.M. 
Class 8A championship game      University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium, Champaign-Urbana 
 
 
QUOTES & NOTES 
 
 
Winning coach: Bret Kooi Lockport (Twp) Porters, ``We felt we were missing things in the first half. We felt we had some things and their were a couple of situations we should have capitalized on and didn’t. We weren’t quite making the plays we wanted to make. We thought there were a couple of plays off tackle, misdirection-wise,. BU basically it was just some of things we thought we were missing. We had to make plays and the kids come through like they always do.’’ 
 
``We couldn’t have gone a tougher route in the playoffs and winning the state championship is quite an accomplishment for the kids. Steve (Walker) is just an amazing kid. He took some shots getting the ball off and, I don’t know how many yards he had running the ball, he continues to amaze me. I don’t if I’ll ever have another kid like him. He’s truly special.’’ 
 
``It is incredible what these kids have accomplished in winning tonight’s game. When we looked at the bracket five weeks ago we knew it was going to a tough road. Nut these kids just kept coming through game after game. They are a special group of young men.’’ 
 
 
 
 
 
Losing coach: Bill Mitz, Lincolnshire (Stevenson) Patriots, ``Their quarterback (Steve Walker) did a tremendous job for them. My hat’s off to them. They really came out in the second half and they just did a tremendous job. He’s a great athlete.’’ 
 
``They are a very good football team. We were able to score twice but they are a solid football team. They started to make the plays and things started to work for them. We should have some plays but we didn’t. We had control early but we didn’t capitalize on the mistakes they made.’’ 
 
``its not the way we wanted to finish the season and it’s tough for the kids. Once they get past this night they will remember the good things about this season. It was our first time here and hopefully it won’t be our last. I’m proud of these kids and so is everyone in our community.’’
