(Lane Tech Stadium-
Chicago, IL) Lane Tech and Hyde Park
are both known as the Indians. However, in tonights first round Public League
playoffs that was about the only thing they shared in common. Lane Tech
dominated Hyde Park in almost every phase of the game in a 42-0 shutout of Hyde Park. The
scoring started for Lane on a 25 yard reception by Fuad Salami form quarterback
Robert Pienkos on Lane’s first possession. After that score Lane never looked
back. On Hyde Park’s next possession, Salami blocked a punt and recovered the ball
in the Hyde Park end zone to give Lane a quick
14-0 first quarter lead. Lane never looked back after that and scored touchdowns
on a 3 yard run by Christopher Blackmon, a 1 yard quarterback sneak by Robert
Pienkos, a 10 yard run by Chris Anton, and a 21 yard run by back up running
back Christopher Kyles.
The season
ends on a sour note for Hyde Park, who will not qualify for the state playoffs
because they are in the Chicago
conference of the Public League whose participants are not eligible for state
playoff play. On the bright side for Hyde Park, because they won the Chicago conference, they will
move up to the more competitive Illini conference of the Public League. Lane
will have to wait until this Saturday for their first round opponent when state
playoff pairing are announced. Some likely foes for
Lane could include: New Trier (who was at the game tonight scouting),
Stevenson, Warren, Schaumburg,
and Maine South.
