Game Summary:
The East St. Louis defense didn’t allow a touchdown after the touchdown they let up in the first 1:10 in the game. East St. Louis just made enough plays to win the game. They were faster and their quarterback is so athletic he got out of trouble with his speed. Edwardsville also played good defense and they have a division 1 player in A.J. Espenesa. He is all over the place. East St. Louis is the better team and has very good skilled players. There was a driving rain in the third and fourth quarters.
East St. Louis:
The defense was the star of this game. The Mizzou recruit #5) Reyondus Estes had a good game. He gets out of trouble with his speed and his feet. He has good arm strength. It will be interesting seeing him in the SEC. The division 1 wide receiver #4) Jeff Thomas is really quick also and can make something out of nothing. The Edwardsville defense actually did a good job with these monsters.
Edwardsville:
Edwardsville only scored one touchdown and it was in the first 1:10 of the game. They had one other drive that they were moving the ball in the fourth when they had three quarterback sneaks, Then he threw an interception that East. St. Louis turned into a touchdown. Edwardsville has a good wide out too in #3) Dayleon Harris which had a 72 yard catch. On defense they have a beast in #99) A.J. Espenesa is the best player I’ve seen all year. In my opinion Edwardsville is the fourth best large school team in the area.

Analysis:
 The two scores by Mater Dei were when the second string was in . The score could have been a lot worse than it was. I lost count of the personal fouls called on both teams but I have a feeling I would need my toes to count them. Althoff has the best running back I have seen so far this year in #9) Jaylon Bester. He gets faster as he runs down the field. Althoff is definitely the best small school in the metro area.
