The entire SHG Football family extends our prayers and thoughts to Jayden and his family at PPHS. We speak what we believe and we believe God is in total control of this situation.
This kid is a FBS kicker. Someone will get a steal. I can send you film but what you will see is him kicking it into the end zone every kick. We did not attempt many field goals during the season but one we did was at the State Championship game, the 47 yarder made. Mason Grove
IHSA. We would love to see the the High School State Championship games played at SIU Stadium in the even years. Great Facility

On behalf of the Sacred Heart Griffin Football Team and Coaches we want to take a moment to thank our our Chain Crew who has been with us for many years. Joe Zock, Mark Winkler, Don Viele and Mike West. Thank you for all you do!
Illinois High School Football players currently in the NFL name and high school. I'll start with players in our area. Add to thread:
Daniel Helm/Chatham
Malik Turner/SHG
Blake Hance/Jacksonville
Albert O/ SHG
Kendrick Green/Peoria
Terry Armstead/Cahokia
From the SHG Football staff, we would like to congratulate CS8's Coach Mark Grounds on his induction into the Illinois Football Coaches Hall of Fame.
@GroundsMark
Well Done. The time and effort did not go unnoticed.
1. College Recruiters:
These are the Sacred Heart-Griffin High School Football Class of 2023 college prospects that has expressed interest to me to play college football at this point. There will be more.
Bill Sanders
Jake Hamilton
KeShon Singleton
Madixx Morris
DeAndre Stewart
Any team looking for a 2023 kicker, just a hint, might want to look at SHG's Mason Grove. Not a super highly recruited position I get it but this kid can stick it in the end zone 90% of the time. These two kicks are playing around at 57 yards and each missed by one yard.
There is no doubt playing in the Central State 8 Conference prepares all the team in it and all the sports in it for championship runs. Adding Lincoln will only help.

There will be a SHG Football Class 4A State Championship celebration at West Campus Gymnasium tomorrow, Sunday November 27th at 1 pm. All are welcome. Please pass along to others.
Thank you to
@DCM_Football
for allowing SHG Football to warm up in their new stadium. Unbelievable facility. If you are a player in that area and looking for a school to play football for consider Deer Creek Mackinaw for academics, football and their football staff!
I have said this before but I'll say it again regarding all sports, the Central State Eight Conference is a great conference. We all make each other better and we should be proud of our Athletic Directors. We have some "old/new" teams coming back and QND coming in soon. Welcome.
According to many college recruiters. Stetson Bennett will not be successful because he is 5'11". If he was 2" taller they would have offered him a scholarship. When are some of you going to learn that a player is a player and quit relying on measurables?
Sports can be very emotional. Some are on high these last couple days and some are low. However, lets not forget that 3.5 months ago we were fighting to just have seasons. Congratulations to all and lets think positive and be thankful that everyone was able to play!
I wonder what those who do not believe in God think they are celebrating on Christmas? I thank God daily that I have a relationship with him. I pray that one day everyone will know Him and have a relationship with Him. Merry Christmas to all. Have a great day!

The shooter was captured about 3 hours later. This actually happened in Springfield Illinois 4 hours south of Chicago. The shooter was wanted for a homicide in Chicago a few days prior to this.
Another thing I am thankful for is growing up in a time where I was able to watch Bobby Knight coaching in his prime. Loved watching and listening to him. Thank you for the memories! RIP Coach.
If you are big enough to apologize that is good enough for me. We all get out of character at times because we are not perfect. A handshake and an apology goes along way, especially in today's world. Expect responsibility/Be accountable. Win or Learn but never loose. Respect.
I have never been a big "reader" of books but a few have excited me. This one is one of the few. Just received it today. Alex is an up and coming rising star in this field. Reach out and get a copy!
@AlexDemczak
...ok I'll start it. Add Springfield Calvary to the Boys City Basketball Tournament. They have worked hard playing better competition and they deserve it. Much like New Berlin has been playing bigger schools to get better and have beaten some.
@DerekParris
I find it amazing that a college recruited will offer a 7th grader but a 11th grader who has multiple offers, he critics him so hard that his only reason for not offering him is he doesn't have enough "twitch". Oh well, that 11th grader had a great college career and now in NFL.
We live in a great country, but there are too many people trying to put out another's candle to make theirs look brighter. Let both shine, work harder and less excuses. America! God is great!
I love all these videos of the football players squating and cleaning. Amazing strength out there. People do not understand how strong some of these kids are. Great work.
There are so many different training methods and ideas out there in the world today. I am still convinced you can't beat the: get outside and play a four quarter fully padded football game with the neighborhood gang, the nine inning wiffleball game in the neighbors backyard
