Class 2A 2nd Round playoff game in Illinois...Lena-Winslow vs. Forreston.
Two of the best teams in Class 2A played a tough, physical, and hard-fought game that ended with Lena having the ball on the Forreston 10 yard line with about 1:30 left on the clock and a 14-7 lead. Rather than trying to score another TD or even try a FG with their all-State PK to pad the final score, the Lena coaches instead chose to take a knee and run out the clock.
Thought this was a very classy move and was really a nice show of respect by the Lena coaches for the effort the Forreston players and coaches gave.
