Simeon upsets Morgan Park

Chicago - If you love offense? Well, this game was full of nothing but offense. With well over 800 yards of offense between both teams it all came down to a 25 yard field for a freshman for Simeon... Yup, I said it.... a freshman!!! We'll come back to to that in a minute...

Morgan Parks' Dominque Bell scored four of the seven  touchdowns for the Mustangs including a 90 yard kickoff return. Quarterback Daron Brown also scored on the night including an explosive 70 yard sprint.

Now for Simeon... their quarterback Deonte Minter threw three touchdown passes including a simple short pass that ended up being an 82 yard touchdown to Horatio Banks. Later in the game, Banks also scored on a 60 yard run.

Now back to the fieldgoal... with 14 seconds left on the game clock, freshman Steve Taylor, stepped to the line, took several deep breathes, and drilled a 25 yard field goal for the win.

‘‘This is one for the books,’’ Simeon coach Jesse Chick said. ‘‘For us to have a freshman, a sophomore and a junior step up says a lot.’’

Final Score: Simeon 45 - Morgan Park 43
