Dalton overthrows his receiver in the end zone, but he was covered well, anyway.

Four seconds left, Hazelwood Central takes over.

Congrats, Hazelwood Central, a 25-20 winner.

Is this the first time two schools from the same school district have won state titles in the same year?

Congratulations to Hazelwood Central.

Why is it that we in St. Louis were able to watch all of the Illinois Football championships on a Charter Cable station, but only the 1A, 3A and 5A games were shown in the St. Louis area on Friday by Fox Sports?

Why does Illinois do such a better job of promoting their high school sports championships?

Actually, this is Central’s FOURTH state title. Congrats to the Hawks! You showed all the doubters (including the Post-Dispatch, which picked both East and Central to lose). Well done!

Jeez, St. Louis schools have been handled for the last five years in the state championships — and most notably the Suburban North teams — so it wasn’t unreasonable to figure that Hazelwood East and Hazelwood Central were underdogs.

Believe me, the Post-Dispatch high school staff is as happy as anyone that St. Louis football might be catching up to the West side of the state. It’s not as much fun covering lop-sided losses.
