QUOTES & NOTES 
 
Winning coach: Dan Sharp, Joliet (Catholic Academy) Hilltoppers, ``After getting knocked out the playoffs in last year's quarterfinals, winning this one is special. Nobody expected us o good this far with so many young people, including a junior and a sophomore running back. We actually thought we were a year away.'' 
 
On the fake field goal in the fourth quarter: ``We practice it all the time. Billy McKeon, who is our backup quarterback, is also our holder for field goal attempts. Last week he did a shovel pass for a touchdown and today he made a big throw to our tightened Tim Brown. At the time it seemed to give us some security but as it turned out it ended being the game winning score.'' 
 
``On the fourth and one to keep the clock running at the end, we gave Brad Bourg instructions that if he did not like the defense that Scared Heart had, that we had timeouts we could utilize. Sacred Heart overloaded on the left side and we were able to run it to the right. After the first down t he weight of the world was off our shoulders.'' 
 
``Our defense made some foolish mistakes with penalties toward the end, but our kids always seemed to preserver and come up with the big play when we needed them. In the end it was a team win.'' 
 
Losing coach: Ken Leonard, Springfield (Sacred Heart-Griffin) Cyclones, ``We played hard and come up short. The kids did a great job in coming back in the second half. But we still were short at the end. 
 
``We didn't have much offense in the first half but the kids played great defense the whole game. They never quit  and that gave us a chance to stay in the game. I can't say enough about our kids and the heart they displayed.'' 
 
``Joliet has a lot of great players and they neutralized us. We finally found some offense we could us and go with and they had no jitters. But we still came up short and it's only natural to be disappointed. But I'm not displeased with this group. They are tough, hard working kids.'' .
